Intel in the, er, soup over lost e-mail

The friendly folks at Zantaz Inc. wanted to make sure that we were aware of the news that Intel now stands accused of deleting emails material to ongoing litigation between it and rival chip maker AMD. Quoth Zantaz in an email, “this is a prime example of what NOT TO DO’ in terms of email retention policies.” No kidding.

What are the odds that the FRCP, which have caused such buzz in high tech, might have their first landmark case in a suit involving high-tech companies?
