According to John Gossman "Microsoft Distinguished Engineer & Linux Foundation Board Member" in a related announcement, Microsoft plans to contribute it to the Linux kernel:
We also support the eventual inclusion of a Linux kernel with exFAT support in a future revision of the Open Invention Network’s Linux System Definition, where, once accepted, the code will benefit from the defensive patent commitments of OIN’s 3040+ members and licensees.
Still some patent squirrelly words (they imply you have to sign a patent cross licensing agreement with the OIN - not sure of the implications) and no timeline.
There are tons of old SuperMicro computers on eBay for very reasonable prices. They could have bought lots of them of the appropriate vintage (2015 and prior).
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the article you will find the disclaimer
Bloomberg LP has been a Supermicro customer. According to a Bloomberg LP spokesperson, the company has found no evidence to suggest that it has been affected by the hardware issues raised in the article.
Why did Bloomberg not buy a bunch of SuperMicros (new and used) and find the chip? That would be difficult but would turn this into a HUGE story. Even if they didn't have the technology to do so in-house, there are many companies they could hire to do a forensic investigation. The weakness of all bugging is that it has to communicate to the "outside world" at some point to be useful and that communications is discoverable. Even Stuxnet, which was much more narrowly targeted than this, was eventually discovered.
For the readers here, your comment added no value to the article in question. Your comment was all about your suspicion of being hacked that read pretty tinfoil hat - "my screen blinks so I think someone hacked my computer and router but I cannot find any hard evidence that that is the case."
Fred Wilson's post discussed how he was hacked, how he knew he was hacked, and what actions should be taken to avoid being hacked.
There have been several JVM (without the "V") created[1]. None of them really caught on other than the ARM Jazelle[2], which isn't really a JM, it is more of a JVM accelerator: it has support for direct execution of many of the JVM opcodes.
After investing lots of time and money into creating a JM, the companies were chagrined to find a general purpose processor with a good JVM (especially with JIT) could run circles around a direct-execution processor.
