I'm loking forward to the response too but the subject matter is the type that they'd probably talk about, go to their lawyers and talk about, talk to each other again, ad nauseum. If they're smart they'll wait until whatever is being discussed is concrete and then jointly announce the results. they're smart enough to know that if things aren't resolved, it's to both of their advantage to keep up the appearance of friendliness. And depending on the true nature of whatever is between them they may have to resolve issues a little at a time. I've seen all sorts of rumors and inferences here in the forums. I've seen general statements by them. I have no doubt that some of us have a more accurate understanding than others but as far as I can tell the complete nature of whatever is between them is not totally known to us (and although I have a strong interest in it, I don't think anyone outside of the companies has the "Right" to a complete picture of the internal workings of either company). Actually, based on their comments it sounds like a part of the issue is plain and simple miscommunication - either between organizations or within organizations (or some combination thereof). That can take time to sort out. Then they can address the "real" issues.
Before they made me they broke the mold!
