Francis you make me laugh. Good. I'd rather make you laugh than cry. :-) There have been business executives and professors that have said some of the tactics that Intel used (that the FTC finds so deplorable) are actually quite common and legal. What's legal when you are a struggling startup differs from what is legal when you are a monopoly. The rules change. The FTC has not only disputed the law, but they trashed Intel. Intel has every right to vigorously defend themselves not only in court, but in public. Certainly. But a good defense will rest on the facts and in the law - which is exactly the path Intel is taking. I admire their defensive actions. Whereas with Microsoft "methinks the lady doth protest too much . . . " (and it has damaged them most in the court of public opinion as well as in the real court).
