Elmer, Re: "My concern is that Intel's history in the courtroom is very poor. They have lost many seemingly airtight cases." For one thing, Intel has already made public the patents that VIA is violating. They are very clear cut chipset patents that are unique to the Pentium 4 bus. VIA has not yet made public which patents Intel is violating, but I'm inclined to believe that they were gained through some acquisition, rather than through IP originally owned by the company. This is probably a knee-jerk reaction to Intel's suit, and their patents possibly don't hold as much water as VIA is making it seem. Also, notice that VIA has been a hound to the press, making sure that their story is heard by the public. Meanwhile, Intel hasn't felt the need to say anything. Some people might say that's a clear indication that VIA is in the intimidated position (remember, anything you say can, and will, be used against you... it's always the better legal position to keep your lips shut). wanna_bmw
