Elmer, re:<If Intel is a monopoly then AMD isn't competitive>

Where did you get this hairbrained idea? Just because Intel cheats doesn't mean they have to win. Your argument is as specious as Microsoft's argument that because Netscape is now alive and well under the protection of AOL, that therefore the slimy practices they previously practiced are not punishable.

AMD is competitive in spite of Intel's practices. Without these practices, such as punishing customers who sell their competitor's products, AMD would have a larger share of the market.

Even outside of monopoly law, the limiting of consumer's choices by punishing companies that offer a choice, does two anti-consumer things: it limits the consumer's purchase choices and by reducing competition it raises prices.
