Nope.

Look at what Pat did to VMware. He's doing the exact same thing at Intel. He came in, muddied the waters by hiring way too many people to do way too many things and none of them got done appropriately. Pat is a huge part of the problem.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching him not understand, at all, VMware's core competency. It was a nightmare of misunderstanding and waste in that company under his leadership.

Intel turned into even more of a laughing stock under Gelsinger. I say: good riddance. He burned time, capital and people at both VMware and Intel. He's a cancer as a CEO.

When he came back to Intel I was saying that all this ‘finally an engineer’ in charge stuff was misunderstanding Pat Gelsinger and VMWare was front and center in my thinking that.

Do you have more details or a reference for the VMware activity? The wikipedia VMware article is pretty brief
