Subzero -

Perhaps you are unaware that Pete thinks himself an expert in International Law? He read a couple of websites and now he's qualified to read the Law. While you or I may not know it, the recommendations of the JFTC, which Intel accepted rather than bother contesting, were actually a criminal conviction in Pete's Universe. Pete lives there. The rest of us don't.

Your name looks to be proof of your lack of memory in this instance. Lets see, the JFTC and the KFTC both have charged and convicted Intel of breaking their Antitrust laws. The EC staff has charged Intel of many acts of Antitrust. The Commissioner hasn't judged on them yet.

Typical Intel boosters try to "pooh pooh" those away. Elmer, for example, tries to stick his head in the sand by claiming these systems have got to work like those in the US. When its pointed out that these are foreign countries and do things differently, he sticks in ear plugs, closes his eyes, hums real loud and then tries to claim otherwise.

Now Intel is trying to do the same wrt to the European Competition Commission. Likely we will hear the, they don't work like US courts blather fom their boosters. This Commissioner is known to hit companies with hefty fines and back them up with more, if they don't stop what they are doing. I guess that Intel is reconciled that they will lose those cases and be hit with some record breaking fines.
