Absolutely! They phrased it in such a way that it sounds as if it is normal that computers just randomly reboot and as if the firmware upgrade simply increases that frequency.

Random reboots should really never happen and the fact that Intel is trying to imply otherwise is deeply worrying.

We will consult with key stakeholders and with parents in autumn 2016, with full roll-out in 2017"
