I can't help but believe that any vendor who is dependent on Intel for more than 50% of their CPU supplies is totally OK with this. "Walking on egg shells" is more like it. And as for the real potential power brokers (the end users/consumers), I doubt that 10% of them really understand the implications or give a rats ass. That's what's so sad. They're lost somewhere dancing to a jingle in a blue bunny suit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Intel pressured Microsoft to NOT support 64-bit hardware DMA, which EM64T can't do. Petz

hs2, Oh yeah, Bill Gates, I have to believe he's on board too. Of course, don't expect him to testify. I am sure he is more than ok with it. Not necessarily for the concept of this type of litigation, but for the result of bringing Intel a noch down. BTW, Microsoft may have some juicy evidence, and it would be nice if Microsoft volunteered it. Joe

"Good news here: Hurd must also approve, so the HP-AMD alliance is strong." It looks as if Hurd is interested in making HP a strong company. Carly was all about living from quarter to quarter and meeting her targets to get her bonus. Hurd seems to have a longer time horizon. With that in mind, it is in HP's long term interest to end the game that Intel has been playing. Handing over the profitability decisions to another company is not a smart decision by a CEO if they value the company they are running. Apparently Hurd recognizes this.
