GlobalMarine, <Article on why Intel has escaped anti-trust action:> It seems to state the obvious, that Intel doesn't have a Gates-sized ego, and that AMD's recent success makes Intel look less like a monopoly: Perhaps it's the differences in style between the two companies that make the Microsoft and Intel cases different. On one hand, there's Gates acting as though he personally owns the American economy and keeps it going, and that nobody should dare question anything he does. On the other, there are Intel's managers keeping a low profile and talking mostly to their own hardware development partners and customers. Or perhaps it's the existence of AMD that keeps Intel out of court, single-handedly providing a real alternative to Intel processors and demonstrating that it is possible to compete when the playing field is anything like properly level.
