EU denies Intel request for more time to get it's act together
,----[ Quote ]
| Intel is being charged with offering a computer maker incentives to limit use
| of AMD processors. These incentives were in the form of bigger discounts on
| CPU orders, it is said. This charge complements the previous (more generic)
| charges raised last year in July, that Intel had offered similar incentives
| throughout €uroland.

The EU should just embargo such crooks. AMD will easily replace or fill the
gap. It's Intel-compatible (x86).

Intel "paid vendors not to use AMD"

| competitor of abusing its monopolistic position. The complaint charges that
| customers were forced not to use AMD processors. At that time the Japanese
| anti-trust body was investigating Intel and the EU Commission also had its
| eye on Intel's behaviour.
