Obviously Japan, found violations, EU apparently will be bringing suit, Korea is still out there. I guess they didn't change the Church Of Intel Sunday School curriculum for these foreign countries, and were teaching their Japanese salesmen how to avoid American antitrust violations. fpg

plantlife I will stick by what I posted, it can all be found. Lets look at the points, and you can then decide how stupid it would be to think that merely having held any number of classes with salesmen exempts Intel from anti-trust suit liability. This is just poorly thought out. No one said the classes exempted Intel from liability. You imagined that. It is but one step in doing their due diligence. Without a class, Intel could not properly convey their corporate policy to their employees. This establishes that Intel did just that. Obviously Japan, found violations, EU apparently will be bringing suit, Korea is still out there. The Japanese FTC found what they believed were violations without ever hearing Intel's side of the story. No Court of Law found that. The remedy was so minor as to not be worth the trouble of fighting it. The classes even if they had them are meaningless. It's the act of violating the law that is the key, and the act of being taught; being taught what to do or how to do it isn't relevant. As I said, the classes were essential to make certain the employees knew Intel's policies and the law, and BTW, it is Intel's position that no laws have been violated. All you've heard so far is AMD's spin. That doesn't make it true. What is so hard to understand about that??? That's the question posed to you. Ted Waite of Gateway being threatened with loss of supply, do you know who he was? Craig Barrett threatened the CEO of Acer, HP sent a million AMD processors back, because they were threatened with supply disruptions from Intel. These things are in AMD's complaint. Correction, those things are alleged in AMD's complaint. That's AMD's spin which you accept as fact. You haven't heard any supporting evidence and you haven't heard Intel's side. It will all come out in the wash.
