“As recently as a year and a half ago, Microsoft’s relationship
with Intel was so rocky that Intel chief Andy Grove told Bill
Gates: ‘There is something very wrong with the way Microsoft works
with Intel.'”

“In a deliberate, sometimes sarcastic and deeply resentful
e-mail, the Microsoft chairman recounts Grove’s comment, made
during a late October 1997 meeting that Gates considered ‘a big
attack by him on how we are so hard to work with.'”

“The e-mail, introduced yesterday in the Microsoft antitrust
trial, provides a rare look at the complex relationship between two
giants of the personal-computing industry and their legendary
bosses.”
