The free market is a wonderful thing really. If we just allowed the free market to work on say drug prices and gas guzzlers and other things, we'd be in great shape. Funny how the free market goes out the window when some corporations profits might be threatened by it.

This describes Intel and the microprocessor market perfectly.
Strong arm tactics, exclusivity contracts, product bundling......anything to keep the free market from operating.
You would think this would at least provide some xtra value to the shareholder. Not at Intel. But....hang in there ....Intel is depending on you naive shareholders to hold on for just a few more years. Just a few more.

The gas guzzler credit expired at the end of last year.
