I believe you?re right that it is a very Microsoft like business tactic, and yet Intel was hit with what I would consider a much harsher fine then M$ was on any single violation. There is also the fact that neither of these company?s have been similarly sued here in the US to spite having similar ethical and legal accountability standards for our businesses. I have to applaud the UK for starting to address this corruption, but at the same time I wonder if their frustration at watching M$ weasel out of every violation smelling like a rose didn?t make Intel?s verdict that much more severe.
