Maybe somebody can explain this to me... why would the FTC tell Intel that they have to licence the Alpha chip to Samsung?? AMD I could see, but isn't Samsung a Japanese competitor?? Also, I am somewhat surprised that the Alpha is regarded as Intel's biggest competitor. I know that it is supposed to be a really nice chip... but nobody uses it, and very little in the way of software has been written for it, even after something like 7 years. Plus it will be equaled in a year or two by Intel's Merced, which everybody will want to support. So is this who issue a dead letter, or am I missing something? John
