Windows XP: the beginning of the end

,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile, Microsoft never tires of praising the advantages of Windows Vista 
| over XP. Some white papers have been published praising its usefulness in a 
| company context and comparing its range of functions, though these have 
| tended to contain only the familiar catch-phrases – "more 
| secure!", "faster!", "more stable!", "more innovative!" – and probably don't 
| get the desired response from every company: Intel and Daimler, for example, 
| have already shown themselves uninterested.

Intel won't touch Vista

| So that leaves two other choices, Linux and Mac. Linux is a distinct
| possibility, they already have an in-house distro that causes employees look
| nervously around the room when you talk about it. Although it is not a
| desktop variant, there is no reason that they could not roll one given two
| years.

Otellini: 'MID revolution will be centred round Linux'

,----[ Quote ]
| Intel CEO says Microsoft's insistence on pushing Vista will hand market to
| open source rival

| around mobile internet devices (MID) such as the Eee PC and other Atom-based
| sub-notebooks will be "centred round Linux", in an interview with Associated
| Press.

Intel CEO mum on Vista's impact

,----[ Quote ]
| Before the question could even be finished, Otellini shook his head and
| said, "no," he was not getting into any discussion about Vista.
|
| We considered that not just odd, given Otellini's history of taking on all
| questions, but a sign that Intel is seriously displeased with Vista. If that
| weren't true, why couldn't the CEO muster even a lukewarm response like, "We
| certainly think Vista a superior OS, but after five years in development we  
| would have hoped it had more of an impact on creating a demand for PC
| upgrades."

Intel's anti-trust memos started vanishing from the top

,----[ Quote ]
| Chairman Craig Barrett, CEO Paul Otellini and sales chief Sean Maloney
| have appeared on a list of Intel employees thought to have deleted
| e-mails possibly relevant to AMD's anti-trust lawsuit against its
| larger rival. The missing e-mails have thrust a livid state of mind
| onto AMD's lawyers who have very serious problems with Intel's
| rather lax document retention policy.
|
| [...]
|
| CEO Otellini appears to have been one of these troublesome employees.
