Wonder how much of this is true.

Sounds eeriely similar to Microsoft treatment of OEMs. Various OEMs tried selling some Linux servers or Linux dual-boots, and Microsoft threaten to pull their contracts. Obviously, since Microsoft is a monopoly, this is illegal to do. Red Hat and others should have sued them long ago. The Netscape case was somewhat weak, and the judge's punishment was even weaker. (Fucking appeals court! And of course, the second and final decision was handed out when Bush came to power.)

Intel wins....

Heh, this almost seems like a cut and dry case. I doubt Intel will win this thing. The MS/Netscape trial was a little bit more complicated. If MS was pitted against say, the makers of DR-DOS during its downfall or somebody like Red Hat during MS's bitch moves on the OEMs, it might have had a better case and a better punishment.
