DocStone, You said: My own theory is that INTC sees a sea change in computing, with embedded controllers rising in importance. Java works well in this environment, Windows naturally does not, and INTC has made a strong comittment to Java. INTC has never been in the embedded chip market. My theory is that INTC wants an embedded chiip database to see what is out there, and whether they can say "Me too!" I think you would find that between the 8048, 8051, 80196, i960, and the embedded PC 486 class processors, that INTC in fact has a fair percentage of the embedded processor market. It has not given it as much emphasis in recent years, but it is certainly there. Don
