Still waiting for that government created, subsidized, and protected Airbus to get any negative anything from the whores at the EU. And I'll be waiting until the end of the EU, I'm sure.

Wish the American government would do the same.

Oh that's right, corporations own our government. There goes my hopes.

The EU's new market economy philosophy:

If you can't beat 'em, litigate.

both intel and microsoft practiced strong arm tactics in the past. Intel repeatedly obstructed AMD from entering the market, anybody remember the k7 debut and the motherboard issues?

What boggles my mind is the pettiness of Intel before Paul got there. I mean these guys have HUGE resources and they have to do underhanded business practices to stave off market share losses! I mean that just YELLS a picture of incompetence IMO. Or at least it did. Lets hope Paul makes sure such things do not happen!

Paul needs to make sure AMD is alive and well. So that means no funny business with OEMs etc. That or Paul will be stearing Intel tword a showdown with the Monopoly Cops ------> EU.

$3.2 million?

I think there's a B in there, otherwise they would pay that and move along.

If they're so upset, maybe Intel should've paid Microsoft to keep fighting....

Well, they weren't known as Wintel for nothin'...

I wonder where all that fine money goes?

Intel is just sweating in their boots.They fear that they might be target #2.

What is certain is that Intel no longer has strong-arming muscle that it once had in EU market in light of the case.
