Really? We are implementing a mobile device AV/malware product (at great expense), but what's the real threat landscape? Enterprise products (WinMo, Blackberry) already include the ability to lock down what can run on the device. Unless Intel is planning to hawk a product to SOHO markets (which I doubt), I don't think this is about a big mobile device play.

I'm not sure what to be more scared about: -- That Intel feels it needs integrated security solutions -- That it feels that McCrappy was the best organization to purchase to get that capability -- That we might have integrated McCrappy on our systems whether we like it or not in a few months/years -- That AMD or other chipmakers might do something similar to avoid being left behind.
