I'd love to have Intel's cash flow while being on "life support", thanks.
This was like the stupid ass DEC hostile giveaway to Compaq while DEC had almost 2 gigabucks+ a year in enterprise services revenue that was going to continue forever. A single year of services revenue was almost as large as the entire merger deal.
And then, as PCs crashed and burned, Compaq couldn't figure out what to do with all that cash, either!

Intel lost money the past two quarters. Revenue is still high, but having high "cash flow" doesnt work indefinitely if more of it flows out the door than in.
