Timeline Set for Intel/AMD Antitrust Trial

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday April 22, 2006 @04:49AM from the squaring-off dept.

Vitaly Friedman writes "The stage is set for the biggest tech battle in years: the antitrust lawsuit filed by AMD against rival Intel. What sort of effect is it likely to have on the industry and the consumer? From the article: 'Last year, the company filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel, claiming that their rival had "unlawfully maintained its monopoly by engaging in a relentless, worldwide campaign to coerce customers to refrain from dealing with AMD" for more than ten years. AMD has already subpoenaed computer manufacturers, retailers, and even Microsoft to provide documentation pertaining to the case. Now, the timeline has been set for the trial of the Megayear to commence.'"

Ahhhhh! I wish people would stop using "beg the question" improperly. Question begging is a circular argument, not an act that leads to a question! It drives me up the wall.
