And another possible reason is that it is a federal offense
to lie to a federal investigator (even without an oath); it is
not yet a federal offense to gripe about a supplier or competitor,
so one hears a lot of complaints. As to Intel's cutting off a
customer, every one has a right to deal or not to deal with a customer, as he or she wishes. A refusal to deal is illegal if
it is part of a conspiracy to fix prices (such as a supplier
compelling a customer to maintain retail prices, if it is an attempt
to obtain or maintain a monopoly) or if it is an
attempt to destroy a competitor. But DEC, of course, can buy
all of the chips it wants from AMD, or it could easily adapt
its excellent Alpha chip to replace the supposedly inferior
PII, so Intel's cut off would only injure itself, leaving DEC perfectly free to use the superior AMD K-6 (or K-5) in all of its products, especially servers and high-end workstations.
