> People here REALLY need to start understanding this issue.

The idea that understanding is the problem feels like a fallacy. People need to upgrade hardware, and when all chips contain such functionality, consumers won't have a choice of alternatives. What you want is legislation (or a dominant competitor lacking such features, which doesn't exist).

Legislation doesn't help unless its the right legislation.

After all, legislation is what is forbidding you from producing a competing x86 processor with the changes you want.
