I did this about a week ago, and I just got an e-mail from Intel saying my order has been shipped. In that e-mail was a tracking number, and according to DHL.com, my order will arrive in three days :)

It's perfectly legal, in the same way that Microsoft offers free access to their MSDN Library (though in their case, they mooch by expecting a subscription for their better services, such as copies of the Library on CDs/DVDs, or access and copies of betaware and trialware). Intel wants people writing software for their processors, because if people buy software written for Intel processors, then they must naturally own an Intel processor to begin with. Likewise, Microsoft wants people writing software for Windows.
Using a fake company name, however, as suggested in the original post, is fraud and highly illegal. Doing so can land you some serious fines (assuming Intel cared enough to press legal action, which is admittedly rare). For fullest safety, I'd recommend using "n/a" as your company if you aren't an incorporated developer. | |
Got mine a weeks or so ago, took about five days in all. Good stuff.

Order from:
http://www2.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/AboutAMD/ 1,,51_52_3592_702%5e735,00.html?1121909722 Basicly, It's the same deal as the Intel ones. Just not as easy. You have to manually get the book ID's and enter them your self. The links to the books are on the main page. Only problem I can see is, US and Canada only. :( | |
did you put your real name or a fake name (especially for last name)?
