RE: "Based upon financial metrics 2004 was one of Intel's best years."

No other year except last year would the use of that phrase bother me, because last year was not the best financial metrics, if you include the hit the metrics such as revenue growth and profit growth took from the stumbling.

If the phrase is used to describe this year, it would not bug me and in fact I'd view it as a positive and be happy to hear the expression used. But it should never be used to describe last year's performance where Intel stumbled. People really need to understand how last year's stumbling hurt the stock over the past one year and not deny it. I would have whacked the bonus down to no more than $400k given the stumble last year.

Dell's CEO certainly didn't sound happy and in fact, he probably helped nudge Intel into better performance.
