new york has issues, and europe has issues with antitrust. would you like to explain that? >> fundamentally big is not bad. we have been extremely successful. european companies, chinese companies, american companies, they love our microprocessors. so we have a sizable market share. we have worked with the f.t.c. and commercial litigants and the european commission to resolve the differences. we don't engage in anti-competitive behavior. our business practices are sound. but we recognize that the public authorities have the right to raise these types of questions, and we are as responsive as we can be. at the end of the day we produce a fantastic product. we're ahead of the competition in terms of the size of our microprocessors, in terms of the architecture, and that's why car companies or computermakers and many, many others buy intel chips. there's nothing we can do about it, but we will continue to work on a cooperative basis with authorities around the world on this issue. >> what's it like to work with europe and their governing bodies? >> we try to become -- we've tr
