Make no mistake. This is about Microsoft and Intel getting together to
destroy AMD and Free software. They accept no competition and undermine any
chances of reaching mass production.

| It is not the first time that Intel has been accused of using its

| "What we have here is an infinitely powerful monopoly

| if it doesn't 'get in line'," wrote AMD spokesman Michael 
| Silverman in a letter published on the Barron's website.

Governments Must Reject Gates' $3 Bid to Addict Next Billion PC Users 

,----[ Quote ]
| "Microsoft's strategy of getting developing nations hooked on its

| Con Zymaris, CEO of long-standing open source firm Cybersource. 
| 
| Specifically, Bill Gates, citing China as an example, said:
|  
|   "Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but
|   people don't pay for the software," he said. "Someday they will, though.
|   As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours.
|   They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to
|   collect sometime in the next decade."[1]

| "The industry was saddled with a very successful marketing
| program that sucked all of the profit out of the industry," he

| become a hostage."
