Paul, what with your Intel and Microsoft, don't go pulling a second "retirement" on us (from your computer and SI). Actually, I suspect you have a lot of fun here between the technical stuff and fool baiting, eh, wot? Tony

>> "With the DEC and ARM deals, Intel has done exactly what you said they could do." I agree. But with minor reservations. There are similar situations, where what you see is not how it really is. For example -- part of the DEC deal is that Intel will have rights to the ALPHA chip, its technology, production, enhancement, for some number of years. On the surface, this looks similar to the ARM deal. But I think DEC could care less for the ALPHA chip, or its technology. What I think Intel got out of the deal is : 1. Stopping the nuisance lawsuit. 2. Getting a 2 billion dollar chip plant for $600 million (or something close to that) 3. One less competitor. 4. Alpha customers I doubt if Intel has ANY plans to have ALPHA technology in its strategic plans.
