Further strengthening PC security, Intel VT allows for separate independent hardware-based environments inside a single PC so IT managers can create a dedicated, tamper-resistant service environment – or partition – where particular tasks or activities can run independently, invisible to and isolated from PC users.

has finally come of age and is now headed for a computer near you?</tinfoil hat>

Hey, RC~ old chap...........................
So long as the OWNER of the machine is the "IT Manager" of it, I do not see a problem?
More or less like those EEPROM chips in laptops?

I know the article said that, but from what I understand, this isn't really
the case. Of course I've been round and round with certain members
on this debate, but I believe that the contents of that "secure" area
is inaccessible to you even if you are the owner and administrator
of the box, otherwise it wouldn't be "secure" for long, eh?
Oh well. Time will tell.

True,
I would have no problem with an administrator managed and configurable facility. That is not much different from the "hidden" diagnostic and recovery partitions on some OEM kit?
What one wonders about is what "else" might be in there
