Ya, I guess Intel never should have donated that source code to the Linux
project. See where it got them?
Linux = Shit Stick....
Hardly has anything to do with Linux. A lot of companies shed deadwood
employees when times get on the lean side. Boeing is good for doing that
trick.

Well, it is sort of suspicious, cloud. Intel was just flying along, not a
care in the world, and then they went off on this linux-loving kick, and,
the next thing you know, they are down in the mud with the rest of the linux
crowd. You SAY that there is no connection, but I'm suspicious.
Linux adoption was to cut their TCO re. production systems. AMD is
eating Intels lunch. Also they've blown a few $billion into a failure
called the Itanium. One of these days they'll dump the Itanic.
What would likely save Intel's bacon would be a much more rapid adoption
of Linux in computing devices. Linux is ready and here and now, however,
a large number of organisations (admittedly, it's increasingly just the
home user and large corps) are waiting for the next great thing from
Microsoft. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it'll be with us for a
long time, if at all in anything beyond another service pack for NT5.
If Intel could persuade some large corps to start buying linux machines,
they'd be hiring people not firing them.

And list just keeps going on... I just poke in Linux on Intels search
