AMD, Microsoft pair up for security
 
AMD and Microsoft are taking operating system security to the next level with Windows XP SP2 coupled with AMD64 processors:

Advanced Micro Devices is promoting computer security through processor design.


The chipmaker on Wednesday announced that it has included a feature inside its Athlon 64 and Opteron processors for PCs and servers that will help combat certain computer viruses and worms. The feature, which will work in concert with Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, will be switched on later this year when Microsoft releases its Service Pack 2 update for the OS.

Take Care,

P.S. I wonder how long it will take hackers to exploit this new feature? ;)
