Jules & Intel Investors - A clue wahy MicroSoft was so Helpful to AMD in re-writing DirectX software for the 3D NOW chip -

From Bill Gates Testimony - dailynews.yahoo.com

"A Feb. 20, 1997 memo by Gates recounted the possibility of offering a tit-for-tat to leading chip maker Intel Corp. (INTC - news). Gates said Microsoft would agree to reject overtures for assistance from Intel rival AMD if Intel would refuse to help Sun make Java run better."

It would appear Gates offered to NOT HELP AMD in return for Intel refusing to support Java Development with Sun.

Intel clearly told Gates - No Deal.

So Gates went to AMD and said - "How can we help you "?
