Intel turning to hardware for rootkit detection

[mshines at purdue.edu (Michael S Hines)]

Doesn't a hardware 'feature' such as this lock software into a two-state model
(user/priv)?

Who's to say that model is the best?  Will that be the model of the future? 

Wouldn't a two-state software model that works be more effective?  

It's easier to change (patch) software than to rewire hardware (figuratively speaking).

Just wondering...
