yeah it is. But the nice thing about it? ATI will not suffer any reprocussions for monopoly and anti-trust laws. Simply because another business failing to run their business successfully has no legal matters with ATI. So ATI gets more economic power, with out any legal issues. If I were ATI, I would be eyeing the stock of NVidia. Once they get low enough, buy all the shares and own the company. You get economic power AND additional assets AND more stock holders equity, which will in turn increase ATI's stock prices and will in turn cause more people invest in ATI which will in turn cause the high ups to make even more money... Can you say externalities?
