This is scary stuff! A motherboard-resident hypervisor will have 100% access to everything you do on your PC. It's the perfect place for Dell to insert DRM, email-scanners, keystroke loggers, etc. Every data packet that goes into or out of your O/S has to travel through the hypervisor layer. Until now, spyware had to go into your O/S. Easy on Windows, not so easy on Linux & Apple. But spyware can be easily embedded in a hypervisor, where all I/O is passing through. It can easily be extended by Dell. Perhaps at the request of an OEM (NSA for instance ;-). I work for a company that would dearly love to have an undetectable covert channel to monitor every keystroke, file-transfer, network packet, mouse-click, web-access, etc. Every registered sex-offender will be given a free Dell desktop for his getting-out-of-jail gift. :-*
