UW takes on INTEL

Did they steal their chip technology? Sounds like something Microsoft would do.

It's hard to say whether they did or not without a lot of details. These kinds of lawsuits within technology companies happen all the time.

True, but universities don't make a habit of suing major companies very often unless they think it has clear merit. After all Intel hires lots of UW grads.

"Sounds like something Microsoft would do."

Microsoft isn't involved in this at all, Intel is a totaly independant company. Some Microsoft machines run on Intel chips and some run on AMD chips thats up to the manufacterer.

If they are able to stop the shipment of core 2 duos that would be a huge blow to the computer industry, luckily Intel is coming out with the Pynron processors now.

As a footnote to nothing, for the first time WARF has gifted the University with money to be used for graduate students in the humanities, about 2 million.
