Fin, Intel investors, Datacenter, a big push by Microsoft and their key alliance partners (not just the ones below) to enter the big time wrt the enterprise and associated requirements in scalability, availability, manageability, etc. Whistler also coming into the picture later this year on Itanium. It's on the roadmap! Intel, Nihon Unisys, Microsoft To Market Data Center Servers Thursday, March 15, 2001 TOKYO (Nikkei)--Intel Japan KK, Nihon Unisys Ltd. (8056) and Microsoft Japan KK said Wednesday they will work together in the marketing of servers for use in data centers. The three firms will sell as their core product Unisys' ES7000 server, loaded with Intel processors and the Japanese-language version of Microsoft's Windows 2000 Datacenter Server operating system. Demand for data center services is expanding rapidly, fueled by the increasing number of businesses using the Internet. The ES7000 is highly scalable, allowing the installation of up to 32 processors. The model first went on sale in March 2000, and cumulative domestic shipments to date have reached about 100 units. The most popular version, with 16 processors, is priced at roughly 50-60 million yen. It will be compatible with the new 64-bit Itanium processor that Intel plans to launch this summer, and also with a new server operating system that Microsoft is developing.

Fin: Based on the info in the article only: One- This Infineon case is only about Rambus' claim that its patents extend to DDR and SDRAM. Not Rambus technology itself. Two- The claim has always been that Rambus hung out at the JEDEC conference, and while every one else was discussing the greater glory of mankind, they snuck out and took patents on DDR and SDRAM. Rambus had their attorneys do it. The attorneys refused to be deposed based on attorney client privilege. Infinion ALLEDGED a crime/fraud. IF a crime is committed, there is no AC privilege. So it looks like the Judge conditionally allowed the attorneys to be deposed to determine whether a crime was committed (and also to see if Rambus really stole the ideas from the conference).
