Hope the outside directors understand the needs of fabs. They are Intel's barrier to entry and the reason why I am invested in Intc.

Exactly what I was thinking....INTC's cash needs are different than a MSFT or General Mills or whatever.

FWIW, I am against a distribution above and beyond the regular dividend.

I think Intel increased the dividend last year because they thought that the free cash flow could sustain it. Capex for Intel has averaged around half the $7.5 billion figure. It's a completely different situation than Microsoft's, and I doubt that Intel will take the extraordinary step that Microsoft did.
