	well, that's the "out of the box" configuration of the IME(intel 'management' engine)  and the keylogger is the gchq-nsa keylogger, and it's not at bios level, but even lower. And not just a keylogger but it has access to all of system memory etc. 

	so one malicious application would be for 'bad' people other than gchq-nsa to have control of the ME. But funnily enough, that means that the guy who paid for the computer could also replace the gchq-nsa firm-malware with some FOSS code and have a processor that he actually 'owns'.

	but, that sounds too good to be true, so we'll see....
