I fail to understand your obsession with these loyalty rewards. No crime was committed and Intel wasn't implicated in any wrong doing. You've strayed far off the point. You don't see how $6B in "loyalty rebates" to the sole Intel-exclusive OEM might factor into the multiple antitrust cases against Intel? Intel certainly WAS implicated in wrong doings, in multiple venues. In each venue, Intel either lost its case, or settled to avoid prosecution. And the DELL payoffs are supposed to be irrelevant now? Just, please. When AMD had competitive products they made lots of money. When they didn't have competitive products they lost lots of money. It's really not that complicated. Right, Elmer. It only gets complicated when you have to explain how DELL's loyalty to Intel had nothing to do with $6B in "loyalty rebates." For that, you need to be an expert/insider in the business. Like you. (Nobody else qualifies.) fpg Being an experienced linguistic contortionist helps.
