You know I was going to make a similar point about Office and Lotus. IBM already got smacked around by MS back in the day with the whole Office/Lotus thing. What made it worse is that MS has been strong arming Intel ever since and Intel is a little tired of it.
Its the whole "burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me" thing. I don't think we'll watch Intel roll over on such large issues again - historically its something of a sore point.
