headhawg,
Although somewhat correct, not entirely.
Motherboards and CPU's, were designed with specific OS's in mind.
Attempting to put XP32 on one the latest quad-core (perhaps even some very older dual-cores) does more harm than good.
Attempting to put Win10 one a machine designed for XP32 is nearly impossible.
The earliest press release touches on the same subject, however subtly.
We may never see a list of exactly what Intel CPU's are vulnerable, however the early XP32 CPU's are certainly less likely.
There's some very, very old threads here regarding the capabilities on software monitoring users and their use in OS beyond XP. Reflecting back on those thoughts certainly allows thought for these most recent Intel vulnerabilities.
