I couldn't find a quote I was looking for. Something along the lines of: there
was never a chip whose capacity Gates couldn't drain.
I found this though:
When you taunt the referee, he usually
watches you even more closely. That’s what happened to Microsoft, whose
“up yours!” attitude toward the Department of Justice has inspired
investigators to dig even deeper. Now they’re looking at Microsoft’s
efforts to take over Java. These relentless investigations sap
Microsoft, and distract the DOJ from worse dangers such as Intel. And
Microsoft’s childish, insulting behavior is largely to blame.

Comment: Indeed, Intel fights those delivering
“plug-compatible” products by defining new and closed interfaces to
keep them at bay. Furthermore, Intel is alleged to be not very pretty
to small companies producing specialized chips that dependent on Intel.
But then, these practices are familiar from Microsoft too, and …
Intel at least has plug-compatible competition, which Microsoft has not.
