No, it ain't:

"BMCs and the IPMI Protocol
Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) are a type of embedded
computer used to provide out-of-band monitoring for desktops and
servers. These products are sold under many brand names, including HP
iLO, Dell DRAC, Sun ILOM, Fujitsu iRMC, *IBM IMM*, and Supermicro
IPMI."
IBM stuff is plagued by embedded controlware, too.
Uhh no it is
There is a major difference between ME/PSP and IBM's POWER-BMC - One is
open source and owner controlled the other two aren't.

The steep price.
Uhh the laptops you guys are selling now cost just as much as TALOS...
"you" whom? I am not a seller.
You are constantly defending them and snubbing your nose at superior
products so it is obvious you work for purism.
only they aren't owner controlled.
That you know of. I remember IBM has always been one of the top USA
military's purveyors:
http://newspaperarchives.vassar.edu/cgi-bin/vassar?a=d&d=miscellany19700206-01.2.13
"In fiscal 1909, IBM contracted for $257,000,000.00 worth of its
products with the United States Department of Defense. 4 The importance
of IBM's military role has grown with the computerization of the
American war effort in Vietnam." (1909 is probably an OCR error, there
are many in the piece; it could be 1969).
I very doubt material from IBM can be thought of being
freedom-and-liberty loving and exempt from any governmental-friendly
"features". They just don't put it in their public spec sheets like
Intel does.
Ahh oh well shucks looks like I had better buy a purism right? at least
then I know for a fact that there is a hardware level backdoor and can
act accordingly!
