I read it earlier on my way out the door. At first blush, it looks like it was Rick's decision. Remember who this guy is. At HP he is one of the hitters who helped create the printer division. He then saw Wally World close up and got a good leap to SGI where it is MY GUESS that they tapped his ass to CREATE the small server read intel market. Continuing on with my musings, he found he could not move the unix-heads at sgi fast enough. He was then perfect for Microsoft, where he shot to the absolute top in what 9 months??? I think that "start his own company" is buzzword for Rick does not like taking orders from steve. BUT I think all is well. I think he educated ms with all that he knew about marketing and distribution and didn't hold back. But, I aint the guy to ask. The guy to ask is rudedog. :)) He actually knows this stuff. I just guess. Oh, rudeeeeeeeeee, where art thou????? :))
