Maybe someone could clarify some things, because I think the impression that I got from reading about this vulnerability is completely wrong. Isn't vPro just something in server hardware? At least the CPU, Mainboard and NIC all need to be certified/from Intel to support this?

You could get the impression that every single computer with a Intel CPU is vulnerable to be hacked over the network. Which I really doubt.

> I want them to disable that thing by default!

When you say this is enabled by default, do you literally mean that they open up a HTTP server without you doing anything?

I don't know much about the Intel ME but the things people are saying about it just seem totally unbelievable.
