John, Re: "In the memo, Microsoft senior vice president Joachim Kempin complained to Gates and other senior executives that computer chip-maker Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News) was encouraging computer makers to support Linux and funding development of new devices that would work with Linux. Kempin said Microsoft should withhold technical information from Intel and "work underground" to promote its competitors in the computer chip industry, according to portions of the memo disclosed in the states' legal filing. ... Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said Kempin's memo was "irrelevant" because the company never acted on his ideas." Right. And, meanwhile, Microsoft's sudden support for Hammer makes a lot more sense.... wbmw

Hi John, I think this paragraph says it all: "Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler said Kempin's memo was "irrelevant" because the company never acted on his ideas. "The e-mail represents some random thoughts of a company executive who no longer has anything to do with our relationship with Intel or (computer makers)," Desler said. -------- Microsoft should do more training, like Intel's lawyers do with their execs to avoid unexpected, renegade behavior. OT John and threadsters, thanks for the emails/pms re: my sister. I really appreciated it. She's doing much better. Happened fast, but so is the recovery. I think love helps heal a lot. At one point, during the acute phase, it seemed like that was about all we could offer. She's definitely a very strong person. Regards, Amy J
