Re: Remember that Intel thinks this behaviour is totally legal.

Sure they do.

For one thing, they are tantalizingly detailed--describing, for instance, the goings on at "weekly server group staff meetings" and "quarterly server group town hall meetings" at Dell--suggesting that a Dell insider might be cooperating with Lerach....
... Intel forbade Dell from disclosing the payments, the complaint says, so as not to draw scrutiny from antitrust regulators. The payments were allegedly known to only about 15 top Dell officers, and were negotiated with personal involvement by Grove, Michael Dell, and Rollins.

Rink, > We can only hope that US courts treat Intel differently than it did MS. This latter case had the markings of politics intertwined with justice.

You mean like when Jerry Sanders said with a straight face that Microsoft isn't a monopoly?

By the way, I see the cheapest Vista upgrade going for $149. Meanwhile, you can't buy a new computer without Vista preloaded.

Way to "Break Free" from the Microsoft monopoly, Jerry!
