Re: Intel Management Engine Source code

"We don't necessary want to remove it, what we want is to see exactly what it does. A good faith response to the revelations would be for Inter to publish the source code to the ME"

Actually even if we had the full source code, it would still make lots of sense to disable it. After all since it's so powerful, if there is one single unpatched security critical bug your system is toast. It's simply a risk Intel (and other companies) forces upon us. Security is in large part about avoiding unnecessary risks.
