"MUNICH; Germany — EC antitrust regulators have concluded that Intel has abused its dominant position in the microprocessor market. The legal proceeding could end with a billion-euro fine for Intel, media reports here speculate."

I don't know what you're arguing, they've already found Intel guilty. And about that snippet you posted, it's possible that anti-competitive behaviour and acting as a monopoly would be detremental to the consumer's interests. It's still up in the air at this point, and discounts are nice for the consumer. But then again, a behemoth of a company like Intel should have been able to crush AMD ages ago if they just bothered to make a better product, instead of keeping it slow and steady and milking money out of people with 800MHz PIII's at $1000 a pop. Regardless, I'm just going to say that the behaviour is detremental in this case, so don't bother to tell me otherwise.

The stock price hasn't plunged because no one seems to care about the verdict. I'm assuming the best case for Intel, as is the market, and at worst the commission will tell them "stop it!" It says they can face a billion-euro fine, but I can't imagine anyone willing to do more then giving Intel a slap on the wrist. I mean c'mon: "What do you have inside?" That's right... Intel, baby. Love it.

Good thing they have awesome marketing. With that stuff you can brainwash whoever you want be anti-competitive as you feel and slaughter all the people you can see. It works in times of war. ;)
