But..but...it's taken some 20-odd years to be "found out"! :-)
Riiiight.
So... Really trust business and market forces to do the right thing?
I was simply responding to what you wrote/asked in your last paragraph. But now I realise that I should have been less obtuse in what I wrote and should have written, "Yes, they did and they got away with it for 20-odd years."
Yes, indeed. It is just possible that somebody did find it and used it carefully and silently to their advantage. And I mean carefully because once found it can be used in any direction, so better it be a secret. Besides, I now consider open sourced CPUs a very interesting idea. Not trusting Intel anymore. Never. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
