There are some interesting corollaries that make this interesting from an InfoSec perspective.

Heart of the matter is that most consumers - whether personal or business users will have little to no visibility into this. And, even a smaller fraction will have the technical chops to remove this garbage unless there's a tool that's openly presented to them.

Since there are a ton of small businesses that purchase and consume laptops just as the come out of the box, I'm really interested in the industrial espionage potential with this.

Couple in all the PRISMish like revelations over the last year and a half, and I simply have trouble putting much faith in their, "oh, it's just to show better ads, sorry..." statement.
