We will be getting asembler code soon - apparently there are some
exploits already being seen in Asia. Also - please note that the
simulation idea isn't likely to be successful because the simulator will
still only be able to simulate the hardware for the OS to use, and since
the OS will still be vulnerable (Windows needs this hardware facility in
order to work on a Pentium) it doesn;t get you as much as you might
like.
We are looking at adding custom hardware around the CPU to counter it...
