Sounds accurate enough from the perspective of "the outside looking in". I've always been very confused as to why AMD's routinely superior tecnology and price points aren't immediately integrated into OEM's product offerings, and why over time they have been adopted so slowly. This pretty much explains it if the charges are true, and AMD seems to be ready to show the evidence. More details can be found at Google News. Looks like Intel execs have been rubbing shoulders with Microsoft execs a little too long and are adopting Microsoft's business practices. Of course, the old expression "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" may apply here as well...

I hope AMD gets some help on this. The institutions and people affected in the industry need to step up if these allegations are true, and not make AMD drain their capital fighting it alone.
