I found a page with a lot of nonsensical ramblings on too, but then i found a 
section in it.....

Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
 - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
 - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
   maintenance)
 - OS updates
 - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
 - Built-in hardware KVM
 - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
   on policies set by a remote management console
 - IDE device redirection from remote management console

that might tell us something useful, tho quite what I'm not sure
