And there was this posting recently, about historical efforts by Compaq

It's interesting reading the account by this ex-Compaq employee who
found that Intel was becoming less and less cooperative the more and
more it was accumulating power. I found the same thing, I used to be
able to call an Intel 800 number and get all kinds of documentation for
free from Intel, then it started charging for it.


Is that because you've become powerful enough for Intel to worry about
you? Let's be friends, Yousuf. ;-).
