Bootguard can be bypassed by simply swapping compatible CPU's from two computers/laptops, correct?
The bigger issue is, do we really want to support a company that will one day succeed in shutting us down? while x86 is the only real option for a mobile workstation I feel as though all desktop/server development should be focused on POWER as IBM isn't yet entirely hostile to the idea of free firmware (in 2012 a new kgpe-d16, compatible RAM, cpu's etc would be as much as a power habanero is now, it isn't really that expensive the only issue is that they don't depreciate in value as much as an x86 device so it isn't as easy to pick up older models for cheap)
What do you guys think?
