Mary, nice to see you back. Just for old times sake, here's what Ben Williams, VP of AMD's server division, is saying about Dell: *By refusing to buy AMD, Dell is putting the needs of Intel ahead of those of its customers.* theinquirer.net Tenchusatsu

Published: Tuesday March 82005 JFTC to Intel: Take my advice, or I'll spank you without pants. By John Paczkowski Add GMSV headlines to your site I'm taking the remainder of the week off; John Murrell will be guest-writing GMSV in my absence. It's been almost a year since Japan's Fair Trade Commission raided Intel's offices in Tokyo looking for evidence that the company illegally pressured computer-makers to use its microchips. Now, it seems the kitana has finally fallen. Over the weekend, the commission, which enforces the country's Anti-Monopoly Law, ruled that Intel's Japanese subsidiary stifled competition by offering rebates and discounts to five Japanese PC makers on condition that they agreed either not to buy or to limit their purchases of chips made by rivals AMD and Transmeta. "In this case, a company with a dominant market position squeezed out rivals by doing business with the five major PC makers on condition of not using competitors' chips," a JFTC official told reporters. Intel, for its part, says it did nothing of the sort, although that is difficult to believe when the combined Japan market share of AMD and Transmeta dropped from 24 percent to 11 percent during the period in question, while Intel's rose from 76 percent to 89 percent. In any event, the company has 10 days to decide whether to appeal the order, and if it does, the case would go through the commission's judicial review process.
