US law states that AMD has a legal right to sell its legal products to any market and this can not be restricted by Intel or anyone else. Dear Pete, I believe you meant to say AMD has a right to offer it's products for sale. There is no right to sell when the buyer is not interested. A buyer can be uninterested for multiple reasons. They can find the price to be unattractive, or the quality low, or the performance to be poor. They can lack confidence in the supplier's ability to deliver consistently or be unimpressed with their future roadmap. They might find that the cost of conversion is too high or that their downstream customers are uninterested for a whole host of reasons. They may have been burned before by poor customer relations in the past, or failure to keep promises. Whatever the reason, there is no right to a sale, only the right to offer. When you have some evidence to support your claims of criminal activity come back and present them. Right now all you have is empty air.

Pete, > US law states that AMD has a legal right to sell its legal products to any market and this can not be restricted by Intel or anyone else. I have a legal right to sell overpriced coffee in my local mall and this cannot be restricted by Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, or anyone else. If they discount their product to compete against mine, that is an illegal restriction of my constitutional right to sales, and that means I am entitled to billions of dollars in damages under antitrust law. It's not that hard, really. I am entitled to my fair share of the market, and big corporations like Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts are not allowed to price me out of business. It's wrong, it's unfair, and it's un-American, not to mention un-European, un-Japanese, un-Korean, etc. Prove me wrong. Tenchusatsu
