I sujest a particular article:
"The false promise of 'Full Disclosure'" by Robert W. Hahn
you can find it in the Oct. Nov. 2002 edition of the PolicyReview from the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

This is one case where the "Full Disclosure" fad really doesn't add an iota to either the credibility or the usefullness of the article. While I do agree that he has a bias in the form of derision on the SGI MPU, the fact is that its well deserved derision. OTOH SGI probably wouldn't be in this position had Intel come out with their promised Epic chip's on time.
