We haven't seen a lot of success in the high-end multi-CPU systems, so I'm not sure having another one is going to automatically sell.

Intel chips run too damn hot. If you look at performance gains over the past few years, they've come from putting more transistors on a die and pumping up the clock rate. Thermodynamics has caught up with us.

Dell could figure out a way to sell Itanium, but they sell commodity stuff. It really doesn't fit their business.

Part of me feels like when you had a lot of success in your teens and 20s, it gets harder for you in your 30s because people are so attached to you as this ingenue. So even though you're older, they still think of you as that girl - that waifish young girl. And so it was sort of like a struggle.

Engaging employees and holding managers accountable for results is critical to our success and we look forward to bringing these successful strategies to more federal agencies.
