>> INTC appears to be in the little leagues when
compared with MSFT

Oh yes, agree, overall. I was making a rather narrower
point about the recent improvements in Intel's developer
relations. I have no insight into the Intel culture.

You point fits rather nicely with several previous about
stock options. At MSFT, if you fail, you die. It's pretty
brutal ... a miss here or there and you can be sidelined
in a hot minute. The environment is very competitive; control
and domination the bottom line; idealism and facilitation
occur only as facile cover stories.

Microsoft is very, very good at operating people at their
maximum output levels ... one might even say "in-human"
output levels. This is called efficiency and success and
has lead to certain results, as here we see.

So what's it like at Intel?

I guess I'm curious what the human dynamic is at Intel.

My guess is that the brutal edginess is not as present?
