I'm not ready to believe the "virtuous" nature of the little guy. So, if the allegations are true, Intel is in the wrong; however, I'm not ready to say that if AMD had that share that they wouldn't do the same thing.

The point of markets is to allow evolution, where the stronger products edge out the weaker products on merit, instead of shady bulk pricing deals, exclusivity agreements, and back handed deals to make sure your products work better with a certain application maker's code than anyone else's despite the fact that you should all be using the same instruction sets. Now if the FTC would just apply this to OTHER markets we might see something unbelievable happen.

Intel makes some wonderful products. It would be nice if they competed on the strength of those products instead of by trying to bully everyone to get there way. Then again I've said the same thing about Microsoft.

Finally someone is doing something about Intel and their BS. And not just some of it - pretty much all the crap the try to get away with is being taken care of. Now maybe Nvidia and AMD will have more of a chance in the market... I've always liked them better anyways. They don't pull these kinds of tricks. Or if they do I never hear about it. Intel needs to play fair. Amen! Finally someone is doing something about Intel and their BS. And not just some of it – pretty much all the crap the try to get away with is being taken care of.
