No, they were kicked out. Good riddance to those unethical sh*theads. The news
never told the real story. See http://www.p2pnet.net/story/14124 for starters.

I will never buy any product with an Intel chip in it. If you can't see why,
then you don't know this story well enough. This has gone on quietly for
years. Intel is no better than  Microsoft and it perceives those children as
customers. The management at Intel (even the CEO apparently) destroys E-mail
(evidence) to hide things like kickbacks (a form of bribery) that runs AMD out
of business.

Intel is a very, very vicious company. They are good when it comes to keeping
their PR image clean, so people don't know the truth.
