I'll bet that if Intel wins in court, they'll get punitive damages
proportional to the profit NEC has made off the "pirated" parts.  Under
that assumption, I don't see why one shouldn't buy their parts whether
or not one agrees with their policies.

(By the way, if Intel chooses to ignore a market as big as the replacement
market for all the current 8088s, I think they deserve whatever losses
they suffer at the hands of those who choose to pay attention.)
