Dear Privacy Advocates,

Your concerns about Intel’s Pentium III hardware serial numbers and the far more ubiquitous Microsoft Windows 98 software serial numbers are totally unfounded. The Microsoft-Intel Design for Absolute Supremacy is nothing more than Good Old Love of the Dollar, a venerable business tradition. Please withdraw your erroneous allegations, or your friends will no longer speak to you and you may notice unusual charges on your credit card bill.

Sincerely, Uncle Bill and Cousin Andy

clue:

Bill Gates runs Microsoft. Andy Grove is in charge of Intel.
