I'll say this on the DOJ stuff.. a scare is good.. action is too much at this point for either MSFT or INTC (even though I would be the last person to call myself an INTC bull ;-) )

I've noticed the chill myself. I don't like to see the DOJ come down on anyone but Intel has certainly invited it with this Slot one.
What can happen? Well Intel simply would have to license slot one and maybe let some others make chipsets. I don't think that this is a big deal given the lead Intel has Unless they had to license slot 2 in advance. On the other hand, there are always the claims that Intel has punished boxmakers that haven't been loyal. This could result in more severe punitive damages.
