A good thing is that Intel management will hence forth be more sensitive to the China / USA security concerns - assuming the story is even factually true. The Intel people i have met are good people, the crème of the crop, really.  I found the same thing at IBM when, years ago, I worked on the IBM audit for their auditors.  Really decent people, have families, go to church and PTA meetings and all the good things people do.  And also the crème for the crop. And maybe Intel was just going to build ic’s for the China market.   For sure we don't know the whole story.    

<< He knows he put his beloved Microsoft in good hand of CEO Satya Narayana Nadella who is admired by employees,shareholders,customers. >> This it’s the key.

Another Pro is the recent dramatic enhancements by Micorsoft to their Remote Desktop apps for both iPads and Macs.  Since the latest versions could be downloaded I have not once picked up my new 12" MacBook or iPad Air 2.  My 12.9" iPad Pro is all I ever use for at home or on the road except for major projects requiring a really large screen and then my iMac with the public beta version of MS Remote Desktop is as good or better than sitting in front of my PC at work.
