Digital received the sale of that fab to Intel at a very nice price.

I never said Intel couldn’t run their plants well. I just said they stole some of the technology they sell. At least according to court documents and public statements at the time.

If Intel wasn’t guilty they wouldn’t have purchased the building, equipment, and employees where the technology was made.

“Digital received the sale of that fab to Intel at a very nice price”
$700 million was reported to have been paid for the fab. I don’t know what you mean “nice price”? Are you trying to say Intel paid more than it was worth?

“If Intel wasn’t guilty they wouldn’t have purchased the building, equipment, and employees where the technology was made”
Intel still has the fab and it has been a profitable operation. Digital got nothing for the claim that Intel stole their technology. Why didn’t they get at least a $1.45 billion?

The subject matter though is the fine that the EU levied against Intel. Apparently you agree that the fine is appropriate and not excessive and glad to see that the EU is intervening in America’s technology. I don’t!
