Reasonable question. The winning part isn't much to celebrate anymore. It's a done deal. There are times when I actually feel pity, but what I am enjoying is the befuddlement of those who have embraced a fabrication by AMD management with cult like religious fervor. The conspiracy theories which demand the willing cooperation of IBM, Hewlitt-Packard, Dell, Sun, Toshiba, MicroSoft, Samsung etc to exclude someone who is one of their suppliers anyway. The notion that Intel could force those industry giants to join in illegal practices is easier for cult members to believe than that AMD just simply screwed up. This should be a case study of cult worship and denial that will be studied for years in Psychology classes across the country. Jim Jones step aside.
Lets see how much BS Elmer can fit into one post:
Apparently pulled out of Elmer's a**, SUN, Microsoft and Samsung are not accused by AMD of any wrongdoing.
IBM, Dell and Toshiba (and to a lesser extent, HP) did glaringly reduce/exclude AMD, just as AMD came out with a product that seriously challenged Intel's, i.e. didn't "screw up."
Incorrectly characterizes AMD's allegations as requiring "willing cooperation" by OEMs, who could not possibly have been "forced" (i.e. coerced), implicitly denying that Intel could possibly have monopoly power in the PC cpu market (a fact that is glaringly obvious to anyone with a rational brain).
Again states with authority (lol) that the accusations are "fabrication", "conspiracy theory", and "denial" requiring "religious" "cult worship" to even contemplate... Despite the losses Intel has suffered at the hands of two and soon to be three antitrust commissions, the ongoing investigation by the USDOJ, and the main antitrust case that has been found by a judge to, at the very least, have enough merit to avoid dismissal and proceed to trial.
Why does Elmer, who's worldview is so obviously warped, post these diatribes? I suggest:
