Intel Corp (INTC)

EP -
Thanks for that info - the SEC document about AMD's development in 1992-3 http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/3437730.txt was pretty informative. Do you think there is still any x86 uCode in the current processors? The K7 was a pretty radical departure from previous designs. Remember I don't have much understanding of what goes on inside the chips, so I need it in simple language.

I think we are in a different world than that of the mid-90s. I was a MS shareholder at the time of the DOJ trials, but I was pretty sure they would end up on the short end, as they did. I also thought that was the right result.

Recent EU activity, both against MS and Intel, seems a lot less appropriate to me, but it also seems to be the trend. MS has caved on points where they seemed to have a defensible position. Their rhetoric seemed strong right up until they decided to give in. I wonder why they came to that decision? Does it imply anything about Intel's course?
