Joey,

I know for fact that in academic circles, he is being used in business case studies as how NOT to run a company successfully. ;)

We are very fortunate that academics don't run the world. The academic influence in computer architecture has been the number one negative impact on performance for most of the last decade.

Compare Alpha performance to PowerPC. Alpha implementations were conceived by industry veterans. Most PowerPC implementations were derived largely from data flow research out of academia.
