Is it a bribe by a definition reasonable people would agree on and if so was it company policy? Lol, so you think millions can be authorised with it being company policy ? Yes it was a bribe and yes it was company policy. The EU will also prove it for me as I don't believe this case would have been brought without overwhelming irrefutable evidence.

accusations of "evil Intel" require that it be an explicit bribe/exclusion of AMD and that it be company policy, not an implicit exclusion or the act of a rogue agent. Sorry, lack of a paper trail does not exonerate Intel: A) You can't exclude the possibility of an "evil Intel" who is good at covering their tracks, and B) While a paper trail would be a slam dunk conviction (and you can't exclude this possibility based on your personal lack of knowledge re: EU's evidence), it will be enough to convict Intel if the effects of Intel's loyalty rebates on OEMs are sufficiently coercive. (Is this new "evil Intel" meme the birth of a new talking point?) BTW, has Intel identified your world-traveling, untrackable-discretionary-rebate-wielding rogue agent yet? Maybe they should put out a reward for his capture. You should help Intel out by giving them all the evidence you have of his existence. fpg
