Very interesting. Had this been advertised here before?

Besides the technical issues - what kind of personal data does Intel collect?
I understand they're not offering this for fun, but ultimately to sell hardware.

I can live with giving them my office coordinates etc. but I don't like the
idea of  my students having to register with Intel (or any other extra-school
entity) personally, as a requirement for my course.

Opinions? - J.W.
