Harry, Re: What a brilliant post.> I also thought it was pretty good.

Re: <Why the hell was Intel using illegal means to stop AMD, when all Intel had to do was tell them, the chips AMD was selling were actually vapor, and while they seemed real enough, they were just Chinese knockoffs.>

Well yes. Intel could have taken that approach and maybe it should have. However when Intel's statements proved true it would have embarrassed AMD something terrible.

And Intel, the Friendly Giant, just wouldn't do something like that.

Additionally those OEMs *NEEDED* that kickback money and had to feel they were actually doing something to get it.

How would Carley(Just as an example) have felt if Intel just came up and *GAVE* them $50 or so milliion dollars with no Objective Performance Requirement? Confused? Bothered by lack of conformance with modern management theory? Feeling she wasn't needed, perhaps?

So Intel did the ethical thing and provided those requirements thus making the OEMs feel good and avoiding embarrassment to AMD.

Re: <I bet Intel's lawyers wish they had thought of that, so they could have responded with more clarity and sanity, to AMD's lawsuit, instead of the feeble answer they gave.>

I wish you hadn't pointed that out. I really *FEEL* for Intel.

And if the above thesis is true they deserve our thanks and admiration.

But all in all I'd prefer they continue the vast ignorance they demonstrated yesterday even if they are corporate *GOODFELLOWS*.
