Intel's doomed McAfee foray - will history repeat itself?

I don't know the schedule, but Intel will likely be rather committed by the next shareholder's meeting. And this is not entirely and clearly insane enough to e.g. muster the failed effort to keep HP HP a while ago.

Robin Harris is a great analyst with a sense of history and he shows all that in this column. I sure looks like it'd just going to be a repeat of those two last failures, especially since there's not (much of) a hardware component (as far as we know) in this cunning plan.

I suppose it's good for Intel that they're swimming in so much cash the don't need this to make or modify another fab line or three, but still....
