Paul, Re: "Microsoft, Intel, TI in mobile tie-ups - The companies aim to repeat what they have done to the personal computer industry, where Microsoft and Intel have standardised key software and semiconductor hardware, with the Windows operating system software and Pentium processors. Each product has more than 80 percent share of their respective markets."
This is of course very interesting. I'm sure you remember the series of articles last week about Intel invading TI's markets with the X-Scale processor, and how they may be conjuring up some new competition. However, rather than starting a Jihad against Intel, TI actually decided to work together with them. They have obviously heard of the old adage, "If you can't beat them, join them." Jerry Sanders' version of that is, "If you can't beat them, drive your company into the ground trying."
