I generally dont' like to respond like this, but I think your post was off-the-wall. I don't think that there is any difference whatsoever in how a company will be treated in the courts based on whether or not it invests its cash in US T-Bills. The DEC lawsuit, and your post, presumes that Intel DID profit by misappropriating DEC technology given under a non-disclosure agreement. I don't believe that this is the case, and will not until it has been proven. To this day, alpha is superior, or the equal of, Intel's chips. The issue is marketing [Intel has it, DEC doesn't] and the power of the X86 instruction set relative to the installed software base. That's the reason for Intel's success, plain and simple. I don't think that Intel did misappropriate technology, and Intel's encroachment on DEC's processor power is more due to their prowess as a semiconductor mfgr. and to increasing the clock speed by reducing the chip geometries than to anything else. My opinions, anyway.
