How about a conspiracy theory. IBM spawned both MSFT and INTC, then ran into serious trouble after "taking their eye off the ball" in defending against their Antitrust suit.

IBM has a smaller Market Cap than either MSFT or INTC.

IBM has been rumoured to be well connected with the administration for decades.

Wouldn't IBM be the biggest beneficiary if the FTC tied MSFT's and INTC's hands?

Just a thought...

Symbol   Name                Mkt Cap 
 INTC    INTEL CORP          117.6B  
 MSFT    MICROSOFT CP        211.1B 
 IBM     INTL BUS MACHINE    112.0B

Stephen - Re: "Craig Barrett never envisioned he'd inherit these rotten conditions for the company..."

Barrett took over control of the Intel wafer fabs in 1985/1986 at the very bottom of a downhill slide in quality and yields.

He helped build Intel back up to where it is today in manufacturing.

So, I think he has experience in raising the dead and reviving the company from severe problems.

I sure hope things get no worse for him, Intel and us.
