I know a lot about the Civil Code. I have argued cases before Courts many, many times - including Appellate.

If you think this is anything but a Major disaster for Intel and one that is going to cause them enormous grief, then I think you should reread the complaint, the code sections and the caselaw.

You're using a company that was convicted of antitrust and got off easy because Bush abandoned the prosecution, as support for Intel?

Newsflash: "Pro-business Bush" ain't prosecuting this one.

Intel could kill toddlers and you'd defend them...

Question to Chipguy,

After reading the allegations, do you think they are 1.untrue but illegal if true or 2.true but legal or 3.untrue, but legal even if true?

I'm guessing 2. True but legal.

I'll even agree with you that I think many of them are legal (even if unfair). There is a risk to AMD (although it is small) that if this case is found for Intel and clarified the tactics allowed, that Intel could be more aggressive in the future, because they could just point to this case and say "see they just said this type of stuff is ok".
