Yeah, agreed, thus the smiley and snark about Apple's propensity to 'move on' at the end of my last post. 
But, it took all of 3 minutes to submit the radar/feedback to Apple, and you never get anything if you don't ask! Who knows, maybe I get lucky, they look, and go, 'oops, looks like we defined a whole bunch of CPU's VPro support incorrectly in this structure', and I inadvertently make the experience better for some folks.
And, just from an engineer nerd perspective, I'd be interested to know from a VMWare commenter if my conjecture that this chip *should* support VPro is even correct. It sure seems like it was when Fusion wasn't roped into using Apple's Hypervisor.
Thanks to all for your indulgence of me bumping this 6 month old thread. It is a frustrating state of affairs!
