In other words, there are no Intel documents or contracts which support the EU case yes, we know al capone was a wonderful, kind person but the government put him in prison based a technicality in the tax law. The EU case is built on emails and testimony i thought the ceo's email was "accidently" deleted but they still were able to find emails, do you think any of the tapes were recovered? of course if it's not in the contract what ever is said in an email can never be evidence. and i'm assuming the testimony is coerced by eu because obviously intel has no ability to coerce anyone by playing with their cpu allocation. poor, poor intel and their shareholders; such a shame for eu for picking on the poor little company.

Yeah yeah, Elmer. We heard it the first 61 times you said it. How was Intel able to exercise its rights of defence? Intel has been provided full access to the Commission's file, with the exception of legitimate claims relating to business secrets of other companies and internal Commission documents. Intel has been able to fully comment on the evidence on which the Commission has based its Decision. The file in this case comprises several hundred thousand pages and the Decision is based on a broad range of contemporaneous evidence from a variety of sources. As far as Intel's statements defending themselves, from your EE Times article: "There was evidence that refute what was claimed here," [Otellini] added. "In some cases the OEMs made statements that these were not exclusive deals or [did not contain the] conditional terms [alleged by the EC, but] those documents were not allowed in the case file* or were not used properly** in making the decision," he added. Can you find any previous complaint by Intel that reflects this claim? I've heard them complain that the EC wouldn't compel AMD to produce some unknown piece(s) of nevertheless supposedly exculpatory evidence, but never that sworn statements weren't "allowed in the case file." *This one is bogus... Intel doesn't get to define how evidence is interpreted. Given that they could comment on it during the investigation, evidently their interpretation was rejected. Of course, this is easy to believe when you have Intel SVP & general counsel Bruce Sewell asking questions like, "can rebates be anticompetitive?" you really have to question their competence. fpg
