I keep reading that the I7-7700 lacks "certain" security features. Can ANYONE tell me in detail WHAT those "certain security features" are that the I7-7700 is lacking? Stating that it lacks"Certain security features" without providing the details is about as vague an answer as one can get.

I might go back to Linux...or at least a dual boot system with Linux.
