My brother, who is a major Mac lover and Wintel hater, sent
me the link to DEC. Here's my reply to him:
As you may have heard, DIGITAL has filed suit
charging Intel Corporation with deliberate infringement
of 10 DIGITAL patents in the making of
microprocessor products, including Intel's Pentium,
Pentium Pro and Pentium II microprocessor families. I
want to explain why we are taking this action...
BECAUSE WE CAN'T COMPETE IN THE MARKETPLACE AND BECAUSE
THIS IS WHAT ALL THE OTHER ALSO-RANS DO IN THIS INDUSTRY
WHO CAN'T COMPETE-- LITIGATE!
