Microsoft partners like H-P and Intel must be turning a cold shoulder to
Microsoft. Even Yahoo, which Microsoft pissed off like nobody's business, is
becoming another Google-like nightmare to it.

Intel Backstabs Microsoft by Abandoning Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| The news that Intel has decided it won't upgrade its PCs to Vista must be
| especially bitter for Microsoft because court documents show that Microsoft
| may have launched its ill-fated "junk PC" Vista scheme at the behest of
| Intel. Is this the kind of payback that Microsoft expected?

Intel won't touch Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| So that leaves two other choices, Linux and Mac. Linux is a distinct
| possibility, they already have an in-house distro that causes employees look
| nervously around the room when you talk about it. Although it is not a
| desktop variant, there is no reason that they could not roll one given two
| years.

EU thumps Intel with more anti-AMD charges
,----[ Quote ]
| It's true. The European Union has thrown a new set of anti-trust allegations
| at Intel.
|
| Earlier this week, rumors swirled that the EU would spring into action,
| adding charges to a European Commission investigation against Intel that's
| been going since 2001. Now the extra charges have arrived, with EU regulators
| accusing Intel of three new bits of "abusive conduct" designed to wound AMD's
| place in the x86 processor market.

Intel faces another EU probe

EU dumps more anti-trust charges on Intel
,----[ Quote ]
| New charges could delay the case - Intel will have two months to respond to
| any allegations made. After this the Commission could decide to publicly
| charge the company with anti-trust offences.

It's the Year of Discovery at AMD – Discovery of Intel Irregularities, That Is
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, South Korea isn't the only government to indict the company over
| its market dominance; in 2005, Japan ruled the silicon giant in violation of
| Japanese antitrust laws, a decision Intel declined to contest. The European
| Union is currently investigating Intel's practices — including February's
| surprise raid on the firm's German offices — as is the New York Attorney
| General's Office, which opened an investigation in January. Meanwhile, the
| U.S. Federal Trade Commission — primarily former-antitrust defense counsel
| and now-chairman Deborah Majoras, who ignored calls from Congress and fellow
| Commissioners to launch an investigation — has been reluctant to pursue the
| matter, though an "informal probe" is said to be underway.

Intel "paid vendors not to use AMD"
,----[ Quote ]
| AMD filed suit in Delaware against Intel in June of 2005, accusing its
| 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.
