Yes, the courts will decide, and the DOJ will decide what to prosecute on the government's behalf. I'm just presenting the USDOJ's stated opinion, not "deciding." And the DOJ has taken no action. AMD claims that both they and consumers have been harmed by abuses of the competitive process by Intel. Right? Right, in so many words. Emphasis on claims. I'm not elevating the importance of protecting competition over protecting consumers. Seems to me you are. Otherwise the absence of harm to the consumer would be the determining factor in the absence of clear violations of the law. Being a cheaper producer is not a violation of the law and producing better products isn't illegal. So far AMD hasn't uncovered anything else despite the many months of subpoenas, depositions and pleas for witnesses to step forward and expose Intel's evil deeds. I really don't care if you believe it or not; I only have a problem with you constantly misrepresenting the situation. I guess we disagree on who's doing the misrepresenting.
