[Intel Dumps Vista Migration Plans...

...but the gem is at the bottom]

Intel won't touch Vista

,----[ Quote ]
| ACCORDING TO A memo circulating a few weeks ago, it looks like Intel is 
| taking a wise decision and avoiding the Broken OS entirely. Yes, Intel is not 
| going to use Vista on its corporate machines... ever.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| 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
|
| Intel's CEO has said that he sees the revolution that is about to happen
| 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."

| That [Linux] software effort does not have the support of Mr. Otellini, who
| is concerned about incurring Microsoft's wrath, the executive said.
| The two companies have a long history of tension over who controls
| the hardware and software direction of the "Wintel standard." Intel
| has said it is supporting both operating systems.

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.

Intel: doing the dirty on OLPC

,----[ Quote ] 
| Intel’s agreement with the OLPC Foundation included a ‘non disparagement’ 
| clause, under which Intel and One Laptop promised not to criticize each 
| other, according to Nicholas Negroponte in the latest article in the Wall 
| Street Journal.   
| 
| Still Intel tactics have violated that repeatedly to kill OLPC efforts in 
| Nigeria, Libya, Pakistan, India, China and Intel is also still trying to pull 
| those tactics in Mexico, Brazil.  
| This is simply disgracefull of Intel, scandalous.
| 
| But Negroponte has signed an agreement saying that he is not allowed to 
| criticize Intel, so he is not allowed to talk about these shameless tactics 
| even though Intel is the one violating the agreement.  
| 
| So only independant voices on the Internet can get those messages of truth 
| out about Intels tactics. 
| 
| In Nigeria, Intel came and donated 3000 laptops to counter OLPC efforts, then 
| sells 17 thousand Classmates to Nigeria at a loss. 
| 
| Then Microsoft corrupted Nigerian officials with 400 thousand dollars to 
| install Windows XP on those instead of Mandriva Linux.
