Interesting, but as a long term IS professional, I don't see a lot of fit unless Intel is really comitted to leave its niche. They had historically had no presence in application arenas. COMS is in networks, and thru its acquisition of US Robotics in the modem and RAS arena (US Robotics "Total Control" was rumored to be a key reason COMS bought out Robotics (not from Wall street info but from IS sources)

Unless Intel plans on going into the imbedded logic for applications arena, I don't see the fit, but then I could be totally clueless too. If they are committed to a mindset breakout, things will get very interesting. Scott

That breakout on COMS would be more significant to me if it had occurred on no news, rather than an externally-generated news event to artificially drive the stock price higher. It makes it more difficult to determine if the advance was based on fundamentals rather than potentially baseless information.
