  Why should anyone pay to get a replacement for a defective chip?  The
buggy chips don't operate as advertised.  If Intel refuses to replace the
them free of charge, it strikes me that they're liable to get sued on grounds
of fraud ...  At the very least they'll generate some very bad customer
feelings.
