Hi Steve; So Intel is opening up it's patent armamentarium for a few selective shots at a few people? I wonder if such a selective approach will enjoy much success? It will certainly take several years to go to the end stage and so will not impact them now...unless they get a chilled feeling and stop. Taiwanese are not like that, they will keep going and when they finally lose(if they do) abandon that shell company and carry on elsewhere. This reminds me of the actions of Hitler in WW2 when he started to bomb London. He felt sure this would bring England to her knees. Instead it angered the people and unified their spirit and even the communist unions came out against him, and more importantly the aircraft factories just loved this respite and soon churned out enough planes to destroy Hitlers dream of an invasion. So there will soon be an overiding hatred of Intel among all the mobo makers and it will spur development of alternative ways of doing things. It will also in terest the FTC, esp if Intel refuses reasonable license terms for their patents. Bill
