Re: "Of course, it is a monopoly. It owns the majority of the marketplace overwhelmingly. And it has used every capability that it has to utilize its monopolistic control over the market... Intel doesn't reveal anything to create a level playing field. I'll even give you an example. Intel right now has a firmware hub under development and has given out the spec to the whole world under nondisclosure. A fundamental part of the PC platform standard and it's been distributed under nondisclosure! Why? This is a violation of every antitrust law!" John this is a perfect example of how ignorant people can spread libelous accusations at Intel when they don't know what the hell they are talking about. I know something about that project and all I can tell you is that Intel was operating under ultra tight security imposed by a government agency which must remain unnamed. Raza didn't know that so he did what everybody does. Bash Intel. He didn't know the whole story, you don't know the whole story and I can't tell you the whole story but there was far more to it then meets the eye and it was out of Intel's hands. EP
