Intel can tell them (FASB) to go pound sand. Not a very good idea, imo. About the Financial Accounting Standards Board Since 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has been the designated organization in the private sector for establishing standards of financial accounting and reporting. Those standards govern the preparation of financial reports and are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Such standards are essential to the efficient functioning of the economy because investors, creditors, auditors and others rely on credible, transparent and comparable financial information. For more information about the FASB, visit our website at www.fasb.org. fasb.org Regards, Huey

Intel can do business without options if they move development elsewhere (outside of US). I came to the conclusion last year that the entire problem with options compensation is R&D really. If you move your R&D offshore then as a company you really don't need options to attract the best talent, most skills (accountant, sales etc) are much more of a commodity- those stay in the US with average pay. So its not the end of the world for these companies, if they move development to a cheaper provider.
