I don't think that explicitly forcing any company to use AMD would be the right thing to do. If Intel is setting up rebates such that it's too expensive for any tier-1 to use AMD in a substantial way, then removal of this (and like) behavior would be enough to let product merit be the deciding factor in whether AMD gets used or not.

For anti-trust legislation to be effective, any OEM with more than 5% CPG marketshare should have to offer competitor's product in some meaningful quantity...

Again, seems to me that Dell should be forced by the courts to offer some minimum percentage of AMD product...

Unless I'm mistaken, whatever the resolution of AMD's antitrust suit against Intel, it will not bind any OEMs because they are not parties to the case.
