There's also this article (aimed at IT bods) at The Register on this, too: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01...u_design_flaw/ Main extra thing to take away is that it is NOT just Windows machines that are affected - Apple and Linux kit may be affected too.

The nasty-tasty icing on the already unpleasant cake, for me, is that despite moden comuters having CPUs running hundreds of times faster than the ones I first used, the durned OS's never seem to boot any faster. And now they;re going to have to be slowed further due to a cock-up on basic security design features in hardware? Grrrr....
