PB,
Re:"I wish we didn't have the technical difficulty that caused the slip, but we did. The problem just recently became apparent. There was very little time between discovery and disclosure. I don't know what else could have been done, except turn back time and road map a November release date, or have the issue magically go away.
Again, you have every right to be disappointed, mad, whatever that there was a slip. However, Intel management acted properly in this circumstance, IMO. I know virtually 100% of the issues involved here, and if I were running things, I would have made the announcement at the same time they did, because before yesterday there was not enough data to tip the scales, but after yesterday there was enough evidence to suggest the target was in jeopardy."
Look we all know that sh*t happens ok so no big deal.
Are you confident that the problem is well understood and identified to the point where have only slipped by 2 months.
In my experience any kind of a process tweak will require process requals which take lots of time and calls into question the probability of November actually hapeening.
If Intel delays again it will lose them lots of credibility.
IMHO they should have delayed it till next year and still worked like hell to meet the November date. And if they could then they could be heroes but the bad news would have been out in one fell swoop.
Just my opinion.

Kash
