If anyone hasn't figured it out, the Federal government works for corporations, not US citizens. Go ahead, FTC or whatever agency, sue nVidia and settle for 200 million dollars.

And even if nvidia were found to have committed a crime, it's usually a slap-on-the-wrist in fines.
As an example, it'd be like $100 Million fine compared to their $61 Billion yearly revenue.
If you can't imagine those numbers, that's 0.16%.
I doubt that even scratches paint, more like a scuff mark that easily buffs out.

I'd say that when it comes to anti-trust law, things can get mighty important mighty quick when it involves a sector of the economy that could be defined nebulously as "really important". If the feds feel like the government is being screwed, they'll do a lot more than just fine. It would be interesting to see how they'd comport themselves in a case that would make the anti-trust suit against Microsoft look like small claims court...

You should have no problem providing plenty of good examples, then.

That case was dropped, BTW.
