Why else would Intel give up so quickly and completely? Clearly they're getting something out of this that's worth at least 1.2B to them.

I know that the EU's fines on Microsoft have certainly set them straight; within a few weeks of the levying of billions in penalties, Microsoft had a sudden change of heart on the default browsing modes in IE8 and released thousands of pages in additional format specifications, etc.
