Atleast Intel had the guts to come out and say it instead of the users finding out for themselves and thinking they messed it up themselves. This thing is costing them 300 Million.

Uhh...

[UPDATE: Intel claims that this problem was first reported to the company by users, and then replicated internally.]
At least they had the guts to tell us the users reported it first...?
