..Transmeta aims squarely at Intel

A new patent reveals how they plan to skirt Intel's patents

For over a year folks have been reading the tea leaves of Trans-
meta patent filings [1] to divine what the secretive company is in
business for. Why do we care? Mostly because Microsoft co-founder
Paul Allen is an investor and Linus Torvalds, father of Linux,
works there [2]. Transmeta's new patent [3] reveals, to those who
troll these deep waters, that the company is developing a processor
capable of running the Intel instruction set (no surprise so far)
while skating around Intel's own technology patents. This CNet story
[4] notes that Torvalds has hinted that Transmeta might debut its
products at the Comdex trade show in November [5]. And a TBTF in-
formant who must remain nameless (heck, I don't know who s/he is)
claims that Microsoft's Windows 2000 kernel / driver team possesses
detailed knowledge of Transmeta's strategy and operates under a
non-disclosure agreement with the company. Who knows, in a few
years we may speak of the Winsmeta duopoly.
