Post your comments for Intel: Antitrust agencies are testing the limits here

[reallycrazy]

I can't believe the Intel guy whining about "We don't understand how the gov't wants us to change".
-stop paying retailers to NOT sell products with competing processors
-stop paying manufacturers to NOT make products using competing processors
I bet they understood this concept when they read about Microsoft being slapped with anti-trust charges in the US doing the exact same thing.

He sounds like the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Who, me?"

Does this mean that Apple gets rebates for not using AMD processors? Is all of this happening because AMD is a European company?

AMD isn't a European company. Based in Sunnyvale, California.

Bribery is a two way street. Perhaps the manufacturers and retailers should also be fined. Intel might have been the perpetrator, but certainly facilitated the behavior.
Once again, in the end, customers loose.

Paying retailers not to sell competitors products and paying manufacturers not to use them? No sir, it's Intel that's testing the limits.
Your product competes by being better, not by you using your enormous pockets to pay everyone not to use anything else. Why don't you asshats quit behaving like Microsnot and then we'll talk about legit business practices.
