wbmw: It's Intel's choice who to ship their volumes to, especially when there are limited volumes.

No.

I'm sorry, but you are not correct.

You are free to decry EU regulations as "communism" or whatever you wish, but looking at it from a *legal* point of view, the situation is quite simple.

Theorizing that this is the same as punishing those who use competitive parts seems conspiratorial in nature, at least to me. There is nothing but anecdotal evidence to say so.

You are just not consistent here, IMHO.

There is a plethora of anectdotal evidence that links Intel with "strong-arming" and other illegal activities. You seem to insist that this is all a great conspiracy between a multitude of independent sources. I don't see a conspiracy theory, but I do believe that Intel crosses the [legal] line in its dealings with customers.

Use whatever wordage you want, but the end result is that you are jumping to a conclusion that may very well be false.

From my point of view, you are the one jumping to a false conclusion, despite the presense of ample data from independent sources suggesting otherwise.
