I like jumped from the chair when i heard this - - This guys have a lesson to learn - i hope they've learned it. But I've got one big question. Why only the EU? Is Europe so different to the US when it comes to Antitrust?

Korea did so a few months ago and other continents too. Justice is a lot slower in the US, which is essentially run by the business class that includes Intel and thus protects it.
