Comment on Intel to buy McAfee for $7.7 Billion

Comments

If Intel bought this in CASH, that would be silly, most likely they took our a low interest rate loan and used the cash to back it.

The fact that deals like this are happening means that the gloves are off and companies are not bunkering in anymore for a nuclear winter.

Also since this is just into 3rd qtr, this means that the company is not worried about 4qtr reports, this is clearly a sign of getting a head start on growth. I wonder how long the integration will take, 3 months would put in in 4qtr with something for Christmas?

What other software could Intel be looking at?
