I don't agree. They got the trends right. They got the "giga$" right. They just totally failed to execute. For example, there WAS tons of money in making mobile CPUs. Intel invested in it ... and failed to make them. Despite that their mobile cpus were better, I've used them (in other words: it wasn't the technical department failing to produce good enough/better chips. It was sales and marketing failing to sell from a position of having the better product)
