In other words, when some here argue that Intel pressures companies into exclusive arrangements, I claim that it is their legal right - given that no one has shown them to be a monopoly. Some Intel defenders will jump in to deny that Intel would do such a thing, which I find amusing. What world do those people come from, anyway?


Well, maybe they do, maybe they don't. But I've read several comments so far from the other side to wit: "I BELIEVE they are doing it, because there's anectdotal evidence", or "I KNOW they are doing it, because so and so told me so". The problem with belief based on anectdotal infornation, is that it's NOT Legal Proof, and the problem with "I KNOW because someone told me", is defined in legal terms as Heresay, and is also not Legal Proof. Until such time IF and or when such Proof (Not Belief, or Heresay, or Anectdotal) is presented, then I guess the only response I can give to complainers is...... Tuff Noogies.
