AMD is getting all subpoena happy lately, and trying to prove that
Intel has a monopoly. Microsoft is among those subpoenaed to appear in court. Others such as Best Buy, Circuit City and
the like are also being subpoenaed (try to spell that five times fast) as well. What game is AMD playing? Is this the
"fighting dirty" that they had to resort to because good old fashioned American competition wasn't doing
it for them? Microsoft is apparently not very bothered by this, and they shouldn't be, Windows runs on both
architectures, Intel and AMD. Oh, this just in, Windows apparently runs on Apple hardware now too, but I bet you knew
that. Perhaps Intel's foray into the orchard has AMD all up in arms. So, here's a clue, create an AMD Mac. It's a
thought.Microsoft Subpoenaed once again

(Page 1)2. For Microsoft, there is nothing to be bothered about it. AMD should focus on competing with Intel instead of complaining. AMD should focus on the markets in third world countries and also invest more on R&D.

3. Truly said by Mr. Razib Ahmed, AMD is growing and In South Asia it has started to capture the market but still it lag behind the INTEL...They should introduce more products as they do in US and Europe and made proper dealership arrangement like intel has made. Best of Luck...

4. AMD is going nuts. Fear of competition, that's all! The proof still is, that Intel rulez. AMD has no chance over Intel. Good competitors are not the ones who talk more..Actions make a pioneer competitor..Commenting on trav
"Apples are not clone PCs. The hardware is strictly controlled, that's why they work so well with the OS. It's a trade-off, and Apple has chosen the side of hardware stability rather than flexability. There's nothing AMD can do about it."
Well, you'd be surprised when they do :) This is what Apple said when they thought no one could ever override their MAC with Windows. But it proved wrong and Windows is on MAC now..Some hardware savvy might just do that too and all we have to do now is wait for it ;)

6. AMD has consistantly failed, they pretent that they ahve a great CPU, but while it strives in benchmarks, and beats intel at games, it tends to cost more, has a naming system almost as bad as intel's, and is dragging all of their allies into court. If they lose, which I assume they will, then everyone is going to come back and counter sue for a large sum.

7. Ok, just face it, Intel has alien technology given to them by the government. LOL, seriously though, I did hear that more than once. I always thought AMD sold more than intel due to the cost factor. I know many people who have "intel" celeron processors (which are crap) and they sure are inexpensive, so maybe AMD isn't selling more after all. It's bad when you can't watch a compressed video because your turd celeron process sucks.
1. So, here's a clue, create an AMD Mac. It's a thought.
Hey, that's a great idea! I'm sure they'll get right on that. Oh, wait: they can't.
