This is Tim Wessman's exact quote you mention:

"It is not locked down and is just used for verification at this time. Note however, we DO have the ability to fully encrypt and lock the system to hell as that is part of the new chip. We DO have that tested and working. We WILL turn it on if needed. It IS a corporate security mandate (after things like firmware being loaded into mice/keyboard or printers to hack networks came to light) that we fought to get an exemption for.

Nobody dick around with exam mode."

Best regards.

I think Tim’s going to find HP in a war with its users, one it can not win, like TI has.
