Looks like everybody's computer will be getting slower to deal with an <br>
Intel hardware flaw. VAR and service model companies may eat their <br>
benchmarks here. Clouds, VM servers, laptops, desktops, servers, <br>
everything.<br>
<br>
I would like to point out Linux is discussed the most, not because it's <br>
the most vulnerable but because it's the only scientific collaborative <br>
model. (the public helps each other in repeatable/reproducible way) <br>
Apple and Microsoft are simply pursuing their best business option <br>
from here and right now that means staying quiet about potentially <br>
useful details until they are satisfied with their fix.<br>

Patch early, patch often, apologize to users for broken promises, buy a <br>
lot of stuff in a panic.<br>

Conservatives: No need to question, analyze, or improve, God overcomes all<br>
anyway.<br>
Liberals: No need to doubt, examine, or achieve results, man will evolve<br>
beyond it anyway.<br>
<br>
What's the difference?<br>
