EU recommends Intel antitrust action

The antitrust complaint filed by AMD in 2000 is finally nearing what seems to be another step in a long series of steps.

The WSJ reckons that the EU investigators have recommended that Neelie Kroes formally charge Intel with a bunch of monopoly related things. Of course Intel says it is innocent, and AMD reckons it kept them down.

This may look like a setback for Intel, but until there is a verdict, that is about all you can say. It is going to be a long messy case, and the seven years are just starting.
