Re:Microsoft disables Spectre mitigations as Intel’s patches... by prewett on Monday January 29, 2018 @01:43PM (#16259608)
Have you released a bugfix to a large application? I've had one line fixes break some use case I hadn't even heard of before, and it doesn't always show up right away, either. Intel's fix has to work on every application in every version of Windows, macOS, Linux, for multiple versions of processors with multiple different chipsets. And it has to be done yesterday. That's a nightmare scenario.
