Anyone that thinks Intel gives a DAMN about their customers is sadly mistaken. Their dropping of the serial number on their procs is due to the effect that their customers had on their bottom line..... don't confuse that with them "caring about" what their customers think.... if no action had been taken by consumers Intel would still be putting serial numbers on their chips.... If you want to thank someone........thank AMD for putting additional pressure on Intel forcing them to look at things that they could change.
