When AMD offered to give HPQ a million processors free of charge, why wasn't that a bribe? I've NEVER said there weren't differences between suppliers and their products/services. You left it out of every single discussion. You never acknowledged it as a reason for an OEM to choose one supplier over another despite a lower price from the loser. The entire Discount Attribution argument that the EC nailed Intel to the wall with in fact depends* on a large, committed base of consumer demand for the dominant supplier's products.* Huh? The EUC case depends on people wanting Intel processors? We can't allow that can we! Just like your whole "Rogue Salesman" speculation burns the "Lying Sack Of S**t AMD", the "Global Conspiracy of Regulators Extracting Cash From The Bank Of Intel", and "Unwritten Uber-Rule Requiring Competitive Competitors", theories to the ground because if true, so was the harm to AMD (whether sanctioned by Intel or not.) So AMD is responsible for any harm done to Intel by the recent IP theft by a paid AMD employee(whether sanctioned by AMD or not.)
