Here's an interesting thought. Maybe now that Intel is buying McAfee, they'll "optimize" it so that it "runs best" on Intel processors? That might help sell a few more Intel procs.

I never said it wasn't silly, I think it is, but my point was about symantec. Symantec doesn't show any signs of being interested in hardware. Intel's dallied with software in the past, at least. I can imagine a room full of Intel executives. We have piles of cash here, and we're hitting a wall on delivering ever faster chips. We need to broaden our exposure to new markets or find ways to vertically integrate along our product line more, or find a way to enter into untapped markets, especially in this wireless devices area. Let's buy a company. Someone knows someone who knows someone who knows that McAfee might be interested in being bought out. Voila, you have more money than sense meeting up with craptastic decision making one oh one.

And paying nearly eight gigabucks for McAfee isn't? Of the two, I think I'd rather buy Symantec (although that's a pretty poor choice). -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
