Biomaven So how do you explain that Supermicro was producing motherboards for Opterons for a long time (maybe a year?) before any mention of the product could be found on Supermicro's web site?.......Further, my recollection is that for a while Supermicro refused to publicly admit they were making the product. A new "stealth marketing" strategy perhaps? I'm hardly the one to have to explain things but I can certainly point out that if this is the best "evidence" you can come up with then it's truly a long row to hoe for AMD. Now let me ask you a legal question. Assume for a moment that Intel is found to be a monopoly, which I think is likely. Does the standard of conduct apply retroactively or from that point forward? If it applies retroactively, would counsel be negligent if they did not recommend that Intel conduct themselves under the presumption that they would be found to be a monopoly at some future point?
