Dell's Intel Bias Caused By Under the Table Cash?

swschrad writes "There's a story up on Reuters today saying Dell faces a class-action lawsuit for finagling the books to hide under-table money from Intel. The hidden cash, up to a quarter-billion dollars a quarter, is alleged to have been paid to keep competing CPUs out of Dell PCs. Dell, their accountants at PriceWaterhouse, company founder Michael Dell, and former CEO Kevin Rollins are all avoiding comment on the pending litigation."

    Are you people this f#cking dense. I guess JD Rockefeller and Standard Oil and JP Morgan and the Railroads were in the right all along and Teddy Rosevelt was smoking dope!!

    Go search Robber Barons, monopolies and anti-competitive business practices.

    Christ you morons are f#cking sick. Not a clue about history. Not a clue about competition. I guess selling tainted food isn't bad as long as it makes a company more profitable. I mean really what did Enron really do wrong??

    hahaha why don't you learn how to spell. As for your opinion, it just couldn't matter less. I'll tell you what, lets compare our success in life, and business. If you're doing better than me, I'll concede your point. If not, well, then whatever. Since you obviously have no real point to make, other than insult me, I'll consider the source irrelevent to the discussion at hand.
