Doug -

Remember that there's a difference between knowing something and being able to prove it in court. Intel is skilled at operating carefully in this regard. They ask "Is it really important for you to be there?" instead of threatening outright. The point still gets across.

I guess this is something all companies in a position of power have to endure. Regardless of whether or not they are doing this there will always be people like you who will say they are and offer no proof whatsoever. There's no way to prove you aren't doing something. Rumors are embraced by those who have a need to make excuses and this is one of the most cherished.

Maybe we should start a list of rumors believed to be facts by the AMD crowd.

#1 Intel threatens customers who consider AMD products.

#2 Intel's compilers are designed only to produce good SPEC scores.

Somebody help me out here. I know there are plenty more...
