JF, > What's the economic cost if a company from some other country had developed the microprocessor, instead of Intel?

The development of the microprocessor was hardly subsidized with millions, even billions of tax dollars.

Besides, it doesn't matter who develops the technology first. I don't think the fact that America invented the car prevented Japan from excelling in the automobile industry. Nor did the Manhattan Project prevent the Soviets from getting the nuke.
