The Commission has found that Intel excluded its competitor in two ways:
through illegal loyalty rebates
by paying manufacturers and retailers to restrict the commercialisation of
competitors' products.These illegal actions were designed to
preserve Intel's market share at a time when their only significant rival - AMD
- was a growing threat to Intel's position. This threat was widely
recognised by both computer manufacturers and in Intel's own internal documents
seen by the Commission.
The computer manufacturers involved are Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and NEC. The
retailer involved is Media Saturn Holdings, the parent company of Media
Markt.

Android runs the webkit/Chromium browser based on the same WebKit code base used by Apple iPhone/Safari, Google Chrome, Palm Pre, Nokia s60 and QT IDE, 280 Atlas WebKit IDE, SproutCore-Cocoa project, KOffice, Sun's javaFX, Adobe AiR, and Eclipse "Blinki", Eclipse SWT, Linux Midori, and the Windows CE IRiS browser - to name but a few. Other Open Web browsers Opera and Mozilla Firefox have embraced the highly interactive and very visual WebKit document and application model. Add to this WebKit tsunami the many web sites, applications and services that adopted the WebKit document model to become iPhone ready.
Finally there is this; any browser, application or web server seekign to pass the ACiD-3 test is in effect an effort to become fully WebKit compliant.
Maybe Mr. Wong is talking about the 1998 Internet experience supported by IE8? Or maybe there is a secret OEM agreement lurking in the background here. The kind that was used by Microsoft to stop Netscape and Java way back when.
The problem for Microsoft is that, when it comes to smartphones, countertops and netbooks at the edge of the Web, they are not competing against individual companies pushing device and/or platform specific services. This time they are competing against the next generation Open Web. An very visual and interactive Open Web defined by the surge the WebKit, Firefox and the many JavaScript communities are leading.
