    Um, I could be wrong but the Centrino has the Core 2 Duo chip but it also has the Intel wireless card which makes it "Centrino" right?
    So, Intel wireless card + Intel Core 2 Duo = Intel Centrino ?

    Old Intel wireless + Old Intel C2D + Old Intel Chipset = Centrino

    New Intel wireless + New Intel C2D + New Intel Chipset = Centrino 2

    And I believe Centrino + AMT (Active Management Tech) = vPro which is a way for your IT staff to manage your laptop without it having to be powered on.

    the Vpro is a special instruction set that allows for a certain level of security to be built in. i assume it allows certain developers to write code for hardware enabled security thats more addressed to business class machines.

    Looks like it also works in conjunction with AV software to allow inspection into virtual machines.
