It will be AMD for me unless Intel thinks better of this. It will also not be Win 8. I'll hope Microschlock learned their lesson and come out with a better OS next time.

Likely AMD has a few things to exploit and anyone reading my HD would be bored to death. It's just the principle of the thing. I won't participate in the illegal activities of the government by making them easy.
