Re: "Bad news was Intel had a big ad campaign for MMX already in the can before they realized they couldn't protect the name"

Who says Intel couldn't protect the name? AMD argued that MMX stood for MultiMedia eXtentions but Intel never made that claim. Keep in mind that Intel threatened to sue and AMD backed down.

NITT - Re: "If memory serves me right, Microsoft strong armed Intel into licencing MMX instructions to AMD by threatening to withhold support for MMX in there OS and APs if they did not. "

Maybe in your memory - but I don't know if this is part of anybody else's memory.
