Tony Viola. RE: Craig Barrett. I too notice some differences in style between Grove and Barrett. In particular the comment you quoted about being "lousy monopolists" showed a level of candor I had not seen before from Intel top management.

OTOH, I'm do not believe Intel will ever toot their own horn too much. IMHO the company culture is "action speak louder than words", and Barrett will maintain that. In line with that philosophy, they will not get into a p*ssing contest with a skunk like Kurlak directly. But indirectly and with humor they will raz him. Importantly, when you're the 6th or 7th largest cap stock, blowing your horn can cause more trouble than it's worth. They have seen what arrogance has done to MSFT and want no part of it.

Finally, Barrett described himself as "more of a teacher than a salesman", and for that reason, you can expect him to be more of an evangelist than a hypster, IMHO.
