ROBERT, INTC had their own flash file OS yet dropped it in favor of ours. If that doesn't speak VOLUMES about our technology then nothing will. Jon would have you believe they are hard at work re-writing their OS in order to drop ours. Oh, I forgot to mention that INTC chose to work with ours two years ago. I guess that still isn't enough time to write their own.... Cheers.

Robert, I already answered your question. Intel's only need for this software is for use in evaluation boards and reference designs. Evaluation boards are boards that chip makers sell to their customers in limited quantities, and are "demonstrations" used to help them evaluate the chip products. Reference designs are a "starting point" for product designs that are generally provided gratis to chip customers. They are generally (but not always) bare-bones designs that the customer is expected to expand upon and refine. They aren't going to churn out millions of these. A few hundred at most. It is cheaper for them to pay $10 a pop than it is to develop their own software. There simply isn't any need for them to develop their own. If Intel were going to develop a consumer product, they WOULD write their own.
