Jim, I took the liberty of taking this off the Intel board:- ------------------------------------------------------------------ To: Tony Viola (75330 ) From: Jim McMannis Thursday, Mar 4 1999 11:35AM ET Reply # of 75480 Tony, All they have to do is break their promise to Bill Gates and leave the CPU-ID off the chip. Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------ Nobody really seemed to bite on the idea which surprised me. An idea that comes from somebody who controls a fair amount of cash? There is no doubt that CPU-ID fit's in with "Wintels" strategy. The consumer is the enemy, they have the money and "Wintel" wants it. CPU-ID will help them get it. It won't happen this time IMHO. As there is friction within "Wintel" your proposed solution seems natural. I wonder when the penny will drop? It doesn't seem to have yet. Pearly.
