Re; Way back in the '70s, Memorex and a whole bunch others filed antitrust suits against IBM because they had trouble selling IBM-compatible disk drives for IBM main frames. IIRC there were 8 or 10 of these suits.

IBM cranked up the legal machine, supplied huge $$s for fuel and fought those cases to the bitter end taking most all of the suits to trial. In the end IBM won every one of the actions.


LOL!! That's pretty much the exact opposite of how it turned out. If you've been basing your expectations for the outcome of AMD vs. Intel on that misapprehension, you better reconsider.

Beyond that, IBM was leashed by the DOJ for the next several decades (which is how Intel came to be what it is, today) Intel is a side effect of that very case.
