<How the hell it is related to the DEC-PPro issue? Your bud Crawford was not even close to the PPro project, he was a Pentium man, see:> I assumed that the suit did relate to many features in the Merced which apparently infringed upon DEC's patents. <Apparently the evidences were so strong that Intel decided to settle for $1.5B total. What other proof do you need? It is obvious for everyone.> Apparently you also forgot that Intel would rather settle disputes than go into a long and drawn-out court battle. But hey, in your mind, a settlement must mean a total admission of guilt, right? I think the issue is a lot less black-n-white than you think. I can't say whether Intel was completely innocent or not, mainly because I don't know the details, and I don't get paid to, either. But I can tell you that it's hypocritical to point out this lawsuit, yet look the other way when AMD was copying Intel's 486 right down to the errata. Tenchusatsu
