Steve:

You wrote <MOT has a long standing score with INTC to settle, and they have been hell bent on settling it from day one. If you don't believe me, ask anyone here.

Settling scores in business is NUTS!(IMHO)

Joint process development, improvement of weak corporate areas, etc. merit spending money. Getting even doesn't, IMHO.

MOT has enough problems hanging onto what limited cell phone & other IC business they have left without trying to take on INTC @ CPU development

AMD has some great cell phone products(mostly in memory, but also in switching & analog-digital) to trade for CPU & process development- & I guess they also have some process data MOT would like.

If MOT is indeed out to "settle a score with INTC" I would view it as a grave negative for MOT & AMD.

If they both have as an objective "taking market share from INTC & other IC companies throughout the world by honest competition"
I would view that activity as strongly npositive for both companies.
