Advanced Micro Devices CEO Jerry Sanders countered charges that he testified on behalf of Microsoft in the antitrust trial to get the software giant to support an upcoming chip from his company. "There was no quid pro quo," Sanders said during AMD's financial analyst call Wednesday. "We've been working with Microsoft on our X86-64 bit extensions for years now."
On Monday, Sanders appeared as a Microsoft witness in the antitrust trial originally brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (news - web sites) but now being pressed by several states. Sanders strongly criticized the remedy proposals being forwarded by the states, especially one that would require Microsoft to sell different versions of Windows.
