>> Their other argument is that Microsoft has been fined by the EU, and by association, another big company like Intel should also get fined. This argument is simply flawed It is a flawed argument, but it looks like the EU commission's members think that 80% market share is all the proof they need to impose a fine, and that a more balanced market is 50%-50%. You probably saw the interviews when they were crowing about their court victory. It is a flawed argument, but nobody is making it. Intel is being charged with their very own anticompetitive acts. Can you provide a link to anyone saying that Intel should be charged just because Microsoft was? Not only that, but the "80% market share is all the proof they need" argument is yet another strawman. Nobody is saying that, either, and you should know better, having seen the links I posted indicating that the EC's Microsoft decision is extraordinary in the extent of its reasoning and rationale. fpg
