<< Does anyone know the name for this marketing technique?
In the COKE case, a mistake.
In the INTEL case, product diversification.>>>
In the INTEL case, Celeron is A MISTAKE.
To fix the mistake, Mendocino is in A NEW SOCKET.
Medocino will be ANOTHER MISTAKE because it is NOT UPGRADABLE.

Intel SHOULD commit to ONLY 1 SOLUTION, the Slot 1! Changing strategy in midstream shows managements lack of direction and future vision.


Don't hold back now. Tell us how you really feel...I disagree with your assessment. It's not like Microsoft has committed to one operating system, or GM to one car. Different solutions suit different needs, not always using the best technology, but pigeon-holed through marketing to fill a niche. Changing strategy in midstream shows that all is flux -- you should be giving them credit for having the flexibility to change in midstream to get a product out the door...Xerox PARC was notorious for perfect products. How many could they push out the door? NONE! You must be an engineer...
