EC Could Hand Billion Pound Fine To Semiconductor Giant Intel

Our Comments 

Intel's stranglehold on the microprocessor industry is certainly bigger than the one Microsoft has on the operating system business. Microsoft may have more money in the bank, but Intel certainly has the most influence in the industry. The Open Source legions have managed to erode Microsoft's clout over the year. Intel however still remain a formidable actor with the x86 platform still dominant.
