---So, since a Federal Court specifically ruled that strong arm business practices Do Not violate the Sherman Anti-Trust laws, Intergraph has in effect shielded Intel from future claims of "Monoplolist" if they strong arm others. Intel should actually thank Intergraph.

Hate to take the other side on this one but I remember reading another interpretation. The Court said that because the alleged actions did not constitute a violation of the Anti-Trust act, Intergraph could not use the charge of Monopoly in this case. It did not say Intel wasn't a Monopoly, just that that argument didn't apply here.
