Kash, Intel is a great company and brand. Methinks that Barret and the coppermine/rambus cowboys are in the process of destroying it as we speak. And shareholders who see no evil and hear no evil are helping them do it as we speak. I haven't come to that conclusion (yet, hopefully not ever). I'm watching to see if the recent stumbles could be summarized as "a bad patch", or what you say. Certainly, no company is immune from crumbling. Maybe the AMD folk ought to start getting behind Jerry Sanders for industry "man of the year." Tony

Kash, <Methinks that Barret and the coppermine/rambus cowboys are in the process of destroying it as we speak.> I would think that you would be one of the last people to succumb to such a viewpoint. Unfortunately, you're letting a few short-term problems cloud your long-term vision, even going so far as to blame Barrett for everything. Now you're going bananas over a routine BIOS patch for a processor errata? This sort of stuff happens ALL THE TIME. I've done several flash BIOS updates this year on several different computers, and a lot of them fixed some processor errata that I never knew existed. What makes this latest Coppermine errata the straw that suddenly breaks the camel's back? I respectfully ask you to take a few steps back, calm down, and realize that Intel is not headed into self-destruction. I also respectfully ask you to remember how AMD majorly disappointed you earlier this year, and ask yourself if AMD is very well capable of doing it again, especially with "Loose Lips" Sanders still at the helm.
