AMD Files Suit Against Intel (eWeek) Posted Jun 29, 2005 0:17 UTC (Wed) by larryr (guest, #4030) [Link] I am bothered about how Intel runs their business when it puts me in a situation where in order to buy a product which I want, such as a particular laptop computer, I have to buy a product they produce which I do not want, especially when it is the CPU, which I would prefer be from AMD.

AMD Files Suit Against Intel (eWeek) Posted Jun 29, 2005 2:02 UTC (Wed) by xorbe (subscriber, #3165) [Link] Surely lots of people use Intel hardware to run their Linux boxes? Not that it affects Linux directly or indirectly.
AMD Files Suit Against Intel (eWeek) Posted Jun 29, 2005 5:35 UTC (Wed) by huffd (guest, #10382) [Link] Isn't Linux about choice? Wouldn't it be nice to buy a computer with an AMD CPU pre-loaded with Linux somewhere besides Wal-Mart?
Get real! This problem with tintel has been a major problem for Linux!
AMD Files Suit Against Intel (eWeek) Posted Jun 29, 2005 18:06 UTC (Wed) by xorbe (subscriber, #3165) [Link] Uh, the problem you talk about is a Microsoft thing, I think...
AMD Files Suit Against Intel (eWeek) Posted Jun 29, 2005 15:18 UTC (Wed) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link] There is some interesting Linux-related stuff in the complaint. Linux is one of two dominant OSs:
"The x86 versions of Windows and Linux, the two operating systems that dominate the business and consumer computer worlds..." (p. 9)
And it's OK to say you "reverse-engineer" something. AMD writes that it reverse-engineered Intel products on p. 7
