This is exactly why AMD is taking legal action against Intel. I know that both party had to agree to this deal but for skype to do something like this and for Intel to even think of doing this just to get more market share in the chip market when you already control 95% is stupid.
Just listening to the podcast, do you think Skype running on Intel-based Macs would qualify for the same special "treatment"?
