Gerald - Re: "If you wanted to spin off these investments as an investment company then you'd have to change goals and it would no longer serve Intel."

What you say is essentially true.

On the flip side, the money that Intel invests is, in all candor, SHAREHOLDER MONEY.

My point is that Intel needs to address every possible way of INCREASING SHAREHOLDER VALUE.

Using that investment fund to directly benefit shareholders is a legitimate use of our money - but we are not realizing any immediate benefit from those investments.

RE: "The only problem with this is that Intel isn't investing in these companies for capital gains. Those are quite incidental."

Gerald,
Intel invests in successful companies. Successful companies tend to have better ROI. They also tend to be better at furthering Intel's cause.

However, I agree the guidelines for corporate investments differ than traditional VC investments.
