I am not aware of anyone in Intel working on it or planning to work on it at this point. Nothing stops someone outside of Intel doing that from the code that was released. For things that need BIOS changes whatever the vendor my experience has always been that you make the most impact by talking to the actual system vendor (who controls the BIOS), including telling them why you didn't buy their machine. At the end of the day businesses make decisions based on dollars. Alan
