That dedication…is what really makes A Better Windows World!”

That’s not quite as much as Apple’s 3.6 per cent stake, but Intel seems ready to commit — it also filed a statement with the London Stock Exchange saying it might try and acquire all of Imagination if it thinks another company is on the prowl.”
