The off-brand 'military-grade' x86 processors, in the library, with the root-granting 'backdoor'

As an ex-soldier 'military grade' always amuses. To me and any other ex serviceman it means: 'Crap made by the lowest bidder which will let you down when you really need it'.

Re: Not sure how big of a loss this is

I've always considered the reply from the microsoft agent as a sort of obligatory header under the initial question. You just move on down to the people who actually know something besides how to cut and paste unhelpful bollocks.

Yes my customers are always saying that exact phrase to me.
