Intel’s Legal Woes: Justice or Witch Hunt?

It was announced mid last week that Microprocessor giant Intel was being sued by New York’s Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for violating United States antitrust laws. Intel is accused of coercing computer manufacturers such as Dell and HP into purchasing Intel microprocessor chips in exchange for payment.

Cuomo and the New York State government argue that this violates antitrust laws because it discourages competition in the marketplace.
