Intel said because the services business is so different and less capital intensive than semiconductor development and manufacturing, it was able to start up a group after deciding last May to focus on providing customer service. ''We use a lot of similar techniques as a start-up,'' said Johnson. ''Frank Gill was my venture capitalist.'' Gill, an Intel executive vice president, heads up the company's small business and networking group. Intel formed the operation in a totally separate building at its Hillsboro, Ore., site, to give the project a start-up flavor and focus. Intel declined to say how much money it is investing in this business. Intel said its AnswerExpress Support Suite complements programs available for new PC purchases, such as the CompUSA Technology Assurance Program, available at its superstores. The suite is also available in North America at Computer City and Computer Discount Warehouse. Customer can also sign up for the service on the Internet, at www.answerexpress.com. Hope you are right...if not, I fear we are doomed !!!! Sounds like whatever Intel has put together, it just started it last May...seems after pumping cash into SYSF for a few years of SystemWizard development, surely they haven't reinvented the wheel since last May...of course, Intel's effort isn't exactly like the OEM applications of SystemWizard, but it is sure close enough to be tweaked and used for the answerexpress.com efforts, IMO.
