The conspiracy theories which demand the willing cooperation of IBM, Hewlitt-Packard, Dell, Sun, Toshiba, MicroSoft, Samsung etc to exclude someone who is one of their suppliers anyway. Well, maybe Events Conspired, or a run of bad luck, or something less diabolical than what most would consider Conspiracy, but still coming to a very bad end result. I don't pretend to know what will happen in the future. Maybe with the cost of play being so high, Intel will raise above all others and reign supreme for some time. That doesn't sound too good to me, but it will be interesting to see what happens. If Intel becomes a monopoly what should be their limit and should not that limit have been applied sooner?

Reasonable question. The winning part isn't much to celebrate anymore. It's a done deal. There are times when I actually feel pity, but what I am enjoying is the befuddlement of those who have embraced a fabrication by AMD management with cult like religious fervor. The conspiracy theories which demand the willing cooperation of IBM, Hewlitt-Packard, Dell, Sun, Toshiba, MicroSoft, Samsung etc to exclude someone who is one of their suppliers anyway. The notion that Intel could force those industry giants to join in illegal practices is easier for cult members to believe than that AMD just simply screwed up. This should be a case study of cult worship and denial that will be studied for years in Psychology classes across the country. Jim Jones step aside. Lets see how much BS Elmer can fit into one post: Apparently pulled out of Elmer's a*, SUN, Microsoft and Samsung are not accused by AMD of any wrongdoing. IBM, Dell and Toshiba (and to a lesser extent, HP) did* glaringly reduce/exclude AMD, just as AMD came out with a product that seriously challenged Intel's, i.e. didn't "screw up." Incorrectly characterizes AMD's allegations as requiring "willing cooperation" by OEMs, who could not possibly have been "forced" (i.e. coerced), implicitly denying that Intel could possibly have monopoly power in the PC cpu market (a fact that is glaringly obvious to anyone with a rational brain). Again states with authority (lol) that the accusations are "fabrication", "conspiracy theory", and "denial" requiring "religious" "cult worship" to even contemplate... Despite the losses Intel has suffered at the hands of two and soon to be three antitrust commissions, the ongoing investigation by the USDOJ, and the main antitrust case that has been found by a judge to, at the very least, have enough merit to avoid dismissal and proceed to trial. Why does Elmer, who's worldview is so obviously warped, post these diatribes? I suggest: en.wikipedia.org fpg
