Intel Corp (INTC)

[savantu]

You leap to this conclusion without hearing both sides of this story?

Since most of the participants on this board are highly subjective considering their investment in Intel, I don't you will ever be able to accept that Intel went a bit too far in its business tactics.

The evidence unveiled ( unless those emails are forged which I doubt ) plainly shows tactics which go beyond competing vigorously ( no matter how hard people on this board try to find a deeper meaning to suit their view, why not take the texts at face value ? ). Even Intel, instead of disputing the authenticity of the texts ( not even daring to touch their interpretation because they are so obvious ), claims " no consumer done, market works".

Basically an admission that those texts are true, yes, Intel managers, including the CEO itself, threatened their customers and forced their loyalty. But the market works, prices go down, so get off our backs!

That others are using this for their own political benefit, it's another story all together. The fact remains that Intel more likely than not crossed the line and some have to accept that.
