Intel fined record $1.45 billion
Not that my opinion matters but to me this is typical EU Bull.
It certainly doesn't encourage being big in any field.
Free enterprise is a thing of the past.
Well if this statement is correct then no bull but foul play, regardless of the size of the company.
Kroes said Intel had pursued a strategy aimed mainly at excluding AMD by paying computer makers and retailers to postpone, cancel or avoid AMD products entirely.
So your idea of free enterprise is fine to pay someone not to hold competitors products. I hold no torch for AMD, they are already between a rock and a hard place and currently not much of a threat to Intel. I would hate to see them go under as with no competition, we all lose, I remember just how expensive Intel processors used to be but competition brought that down.
