Kash, <I have said it many times Barrett is a bust.> I disagree. I think Barrett is unfairly being blamed for most of Intel's troubles. Yes, the finger must point somewhere, and yes, as CEO it's Barrett's responsibility to fix things. But I feel like getting rid of Barrett would be like tossing out the baby with the bathwater. And there's no guarantee that whoever replaces him will do any better. In short, I am no fan of the George Steinbrenner method of "reorgs". Barrett has proven himself to be a fine manager back during his COO days, and there's no proof that all of Intel's troubles can be traced back to his shortcomings (unlike Eckhard Pfeiffer, I suppose). Perhaps with the Timna cancellation, the alleged Pentium 4 delay, and the time it's taking to release Itanium, Intel is trying to prevent further screwups once and for all. Maybe then, Barrett will once again be seen as a great CEO instead of the embarrassment of the semiconductor industry. Tenchusatsu
