They’ve been after Intel and Microsoft for a long time, and it’s really motivated by jealousy. I was there when the initial Microsoft attacks began, and it was simply because they were annoyed that people really wanted MS consumer products, they wanted integrated applications, and the Europeans hadn’t created anything that could compete. There was a lot of overt anti-Americanism in the original attacks on MS.

There’s probably some latent anti-Americanism in the attacks on Intel, although I suspect that a lot of it is also a reflection of what’s going on here, where governments see successful private companies and industries as their rivals and do everything to bring them down or at least make them less successful.
