"Remember, MS should appeal to the Simiconductor Manufacturer."

Why would it appeal to a manufacturer ? It would only appeal in the sense that they might implement such details as Intel might.

All they need do is manufacture as they are.

e.Digital does not lend anything to the manufacture of the Semiconductors. That is what was just ruled on against Intel....Intels manufactured product belongs to Intel and has nothing to do with e.Digitals patented methods...However, Intel is showing others how to use e.Digital methods within its products.

emit, it all comes down to data.. be it the creation of marking bad memory addresses issues (737) or taking it a step further and creating finger prints out of the same data.

e.Digitals trick is to do this without typical bit mapping, allocation tables, or any type of directive structures.
