The abusive monopolist has to watch its step. Read the FOF on Microsoft carefully. The judge slams Microsoft for fighting Netscape's lead and forcing it to give away Navigator. Netscape hardly failed but was sold for some billions. Intel could be accused of abuse for excluding (other) competition by making life miserable for its existing competitors. I believe the reason Intel recently licensed AMD and NSM was to avoid antitrust accusations. Isn't it astounding that with the right to reverse engineer PII that NSM quit the microprocessor business? Isn't amazing that with this right S3 doesn't even try? Intel need not raise its prices to shelter competition, but it cannot cut its own prices below incremental cost in order to increase market share. In particular, it must not even talk of destroying competition. It is allowed to gain or preserve a monopoly by its own competence and efficiency. But it must be careful to let its competitors fail from their own incompetence and stupidity.
