So, the DOJ's theory is it is right for Intel to integrate video/audio functions into CPU , which will hurt the business of some the chip makers, like Trident, S3, Curs, ...etc, but it is wrong for Microsoft to integrate IE into OS, while for companies like Trident, S3, Crus, the mother board is the only channel to distribute their Video chips, but for NSCP , it has many other channel to distribute its NN. So what a double standard in DOJ's Antitrust law. The only consistency in anti-trust is that it favors the status quo! I'm sure the gov't would love to stop Intel from integrating components. You might remember that the FTC held up the aquisition of Chips&Tech for months, despite the fact that there was zero overlap/competition between Chips and Intel.
