I dispute the claim: "ME-11 management engine chip [is] used on almost all recent desktop and laptop computers in the world". AMD chips are popular in both consumer and business applications...there's no way that whatever fraction of chipsets Intel delivers are "almost all". Furthermore, Intel's documentation seems to state that this is a chipset feature, not a processor feature:

> Currently, we support the following chipsets regardless of your system manufacturer or the motherboard in your PC:

> Intel® Q57/H57/H55/P55 Express Chipset

> Mobile Intel® QM57/QS57/HM57/HM55/PM55 Express Chipsets

The wording is sufficiently vague that I can't be 100% sure about it.
