From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Got to wonder if this'll affect intel in the data centre, one thing fucking over desktop users, quite another if enterprise are impacted.

I doubt they'll be that stupid, however, all bets are off with the MBA's back behind the wheel...

Probably not. In the data center, a server has its own temperature sensors. But most people never use those either and just use AC for the whole room.

From the article it looks like more than just temp sensors are going to be impacted.

Sure but they still monitor their servers.

by this time it probably would be easier to remove all the intel hardware support code
