<p>Did they steal their chip technology? Sounds like something Microsoft would do.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“Sounds like something Microsoft would do.”</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
