Are you referring to the offer of a million processors free of charge? I'm not entirely sure I would see it as a bribe as much as I would a desperate attempt to counter what appeared to be a monopoly. For as long as I can remember, Intel essentially controlled the market for pre-built computers. Even companies like Dell who were interested in offering AMD machines were eventually "convinced" to limit themselves to offerings from Intel alone. You'd have to assume that AMD was aware of something very unethical going on that they were incapable of solving through legal means which resulted in them wanting to find another way around it. Of course. it all depends on _when_ AMD attempted this bribe. -- SilverSlimer
