And the DOJ has taken no action. I can imagine how quiet the DOJ Antitrust Agency's offices must have been for the last 8+ years... >I'm not elevating the importance of protecting competition over protecting consumers. Seems to me you are. Then you misunderstand me. Otherwise the absence of harm to the consumer would be the determining factor in the absence of clear violations of the law. I wouldn't presume to state with authority how a judge should interpret and apply competition-(the process)-protecting laws versus the infinite variety of abusive practices monopolies have devised. Being a cheaper producer is not a violation of the law and producing better products isn't illegal. And no one is accusing Intel of being a cheaper producer of better products. :) 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. That the public at large is aware of, at least. fpg
