Agree. This is not really a problem for normal, everyday PC users. I think the only thing that will make it a problem for folks like us is the "fix" demanded by the "commercial" users. It may cut our performance unnecessarily.
Had the whole thing been "kept secret", probably nothing needed doing. But, the CPU users with "big money on the line" won't take the chance some bad folks would figure things out. Can't blame them.
