It is easy to say a number out of mouth, but it will be hard to do something real. The key problem of Compaq is that they hired so many big mouths, but less real workers. :-)

He also mapped out a star role for potential spin-off AltaVista, which in the Pfeiffer vision is set to become the leading... Yack, Yack, Yack....Meanwhile Rome burns and CPQ sinks down to 30. Pfeiffer ought to be strung up by his thumbs. I think it's time for the crew on the good ship CPQ to make him walk the plank. Every newspaper and commentator in the business has gone on and on about how you raise cash these days by spinning off IPOs of your Internet businesses if you are fortunate enough to have any. Pfeiffer inherited the best IPO prospect around with AltaVista and just sat on it. Absolutely no excuse for not having that thing off over a year ago. It should have been one of his first actions. Think of all the money we have lost and how far ahead the others have gotten. Pfeiffer may be able to get a assigned job done but he is clearly not a leader with any vision. Pfeiffer belongs in middle management as a project man.
