<So who is gonna refund these guys the $$$ they spent advertising f**ked up computer systems?> I wrote a long piece on the effects of Camino slip two or three days back. I would put this under the "OEM liability" category. I am sure Intel will have to compensate people to some extent (probably not legally necessary but can't afford to lose goodwill in these tough times). Having done something like this (i.e., ship defective product that caused OEM grief) in prior life, I can tell you that there is a lot of scope for creativity here - Intel can compensate OEMs with or without taking one-time charges depending on how they go about it.
