These are the two giants who shaped the modern computing world as we see today. They were responsible for computers to reach common person's reach. I'd always stick with the leaders and I'd never go for products from other companies. If not for these two great firms I or YOU might not be blogging on this site now. You Bet!! By the way how many of you are NOT using an Intel or Microsoft Product!!! ?? I’d ask everyone to rethink before criticizing Intel or Microsoft.

I also think the response that I've observed within Intel to this policy is particularly disappointing (though not surprising) and indicative of a presupposition that diverse candidates are somehow unqualified by default for jobs within Intel. I think Intel needs to do benchmarks. They'll find that diverse populations at other tech companies are much different (larger) than theirs, yet they are just as qualified as the diverse population inside of Intel. I think if Intel was more involved in retaining the diverse population it had, it wouldn't have any trouble finding diverse candidates. The word is out on diverse employees' experiences at Intel and it is not appealing to "silver bullet" candidates.

Constructive confrontation is easier said than done, and virtually useless if the person you're "confronting constructively" is your manager or someone with a higher pay grade than you. I know from firsthand experience. Nowadays constructive confrontation means not questioning authority and just shuttnig the hell up and doing what they say do. Unfortunately that is what launched Intel's crazy rush to MHz which resulted in the promulgation of the inferior NetBurst microarchitecture, which led to our getting beat by a company that we could have put out of existence 10 years ago.

I don't WANT my blog to become the place for disgruntled Intel folks to come and talk. That's part of the discussion I want to be a part of, and encourage, but in the end, as you note, this is my blog, and I write what I want here. The good news is that it's so easy for anyone who has something to say to start a blog, anonymous or not. That would be my suggestion - I'm more than willing to help anyone who's interested to start their own blog, and add their own voice to the blogosphere. That's kind of the whole point that I'm driving at. :-) Mikael-

I know several people at Intel who have a lot to contribute and are itching to do so, but they would much rather do it in a place where it's not all about you. No offense, but their goal is to try to make Intel better, not to further your intentions to become the next Internet famous person. That Unofficial blog could be a good start, but there's a heavy hand on it as well. How about a message board somewhere, with a minimal amount of moderation? (just to delete confidential information and spam) I think there would be a lot more discussion if we had a neutral space to discuss all of this.

And the "positive spin" that our HR folks and execs put on the reduced benefits. Sort of like eating broccoli dipped in nacho cheese sauce.
