Glen - Re: " Ironically, this move by Intel to a proprietary slot is not unlike the moves made by Apple you recently commented on."

Not quite.

Intel grants an implied (limited) license to Intel's customers - PC board manufactures, OEMs, chip set manufacturers - who use Intel's Slot 1 components.

For years, Apple licensed nothing - then they tried licensing, then they stopped licensing.

Re: "such action may bring careful examination by the justice department. "

The Peoples Republic Of The Justice Department may try to revoke the privleges of invention and ownership of private property. I believe that our Supreme Court will endeavor to counteract such anti-American activities as they have done so in the past.

Remember - the DOJ is supposed to uphold the law - not make new laws nor revoke individual and corporate rights and freedoms as guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution.

I don't quite understand US law but isn't it true that

I don't recall anyone is after them.
