Intel hopes that too, otherwise the architecture they are basing their
entire future product line and comeback against AMD on is fubard.

If you plug a USB 2.0 device into one of the new Inteo Core Duo
laptops, it reduces the battery life by 80 minutes.

Microsoft and Intel knew about this bug months ago but didn't bother
to tell anyone.  Many "tech journalists" have evaluated the
laptops and none of them found this bug.

The Core Duo is the chip that all of Apple's new laptops and Intel's
entire new line of laptops is built on.  Intel blames M$ drivers,
which is interesting.
