Here is one more little piece of anti-competitive Intel behavior. The Intel-Skype deal, where Skype locked in some features of its application to PCs with Intel CPUs.

Not a big deal compared to these "bribes", but still indicates that Intel has no problems with engaging in these deals, even openly.

PS: I don't hate Intel, in fact I have only ever bought one CPU from AMD in more than 15 years of using PCs. That doesn't mean I'm blind to Intel's behaviors though.

So, is EU going to SUE M$ over the exclusive DLC for GTA nad other games?  Is the EU going t o fine the US for having a Most Favored Nation status for some countries?  If they want to say that EU citizens were prevented from buying AMD based computers, and they have evidence of the lack of THAT option, I can agree with it, but to say cutting sweet deals with manufacturers to use their chips is riddiculous.  So...are they going to sue Apple for squahing others from making computers, other than Apple built computers from running OS X?  WTF...
