"Intel accused of Indian
jiggery-pokery

Toys thrown out of resellers' prams

By Mike Magee, 26/07/01 10:15:31 BST

THE BATTLE FOR MARKET SHARE in Asia is taking a further
nasty twist, as resellers accuse Intel of preventing them from
selling CPUs other than its own.

Sources alleged that Intel India is engaged in a monopolistic
push, with resellers being threatened with cancellation of their
preferential discounts and benefits if they stock either AMD or
Via CPUs.

One distributor told the INQUIRER today that a Via promotional
event at the main computer market in New Delhi was disrupted by
Intel executives who turned up with the local cops to shut down the
show.

And posters, banners and other promotional material is torn down
on a daily basis, the distributor alleged."

Seems we have one or two posters on this thread cut from the same cloth...It seems to be bred in the bone for these INTC afficiondos...and yet they're the ones crying about being mistreated! Nice ruse if it works!!!
