fastpathguru,
willco: "Foreign governments and now the EU in Europe have long used their laws to help their own businesses and thwart U.S. businesses. The U.S. has not."
Contradicted by the many EU businesses that have run afoul of the EC. ... against other EC businesses.
Not contradicted at all. Most of the time the EC went against its own, it was to protect another of its own.
You seem to be wasting a lot of time discussing a topic which will not be resolved any time soon.
1) The EU fine is in escrow and has "no financial impact" on Intel ;)
2) Your baby AMD will get nothing out of this. Intel will continue to pummel them ;))
3) The EU consumer will get nothing, except perhaps higher prices ;)))
4) And last but not least, why don't you come back and reopen this topic when the EU finally publishes it's "redacted" proof. Because otherwise, you know, you have no proof. Just a decision by the EU and your opinion. Your BIASED opinion ;))))
IMHO
