    Intel guilty of breaking antitrust laws



    Antitrust: Commission imposes fine of €1.06 bn on Intel for abuse of dominant position; orders Intel to cease illegal practices



    Justice is done, finally, Intel is pure evil

    Bloody EU Government again, they really are great at fund raising aren't they? Are they going after every company that dominates its field?
    I would say that they should look at themselves before accusing private companies oif abusing power.

    lol, learn to read, this is AMD complaining about illegal Intel atcs and EU is helping like they did in USA, Intel have some mafia methods
    "field dominating" is not the problem here, it's about equal rights
    conditional rebates, payments to prevent sales of specific rival products... pathetic Intel

    I did read it and I agree. I was merely giving a gut reaction to that Neelie Kroes person who I swear in another life was burning witches at the stake.

    yea agreed, but the point here is that Intel really sucks and AMD makes a great job and need support from customers

    Everyone has their preferences. Both companies are producing good stuff. AMD isn't so small now that they bought out ATI.

    lol, fanboism

    Intel's business practices may be questionable, but their chips don't suck. Proof is hard to deny

    As Ex_Brit said, both companies produce good stuff.
