I was there too, but the incompetent leadership started at least from Craig Barrett, before Otellini took over. Barrett, as I recall, was the idiot who drove the RAMBUS association, the Netburst/P4 architecture, continued to push EMT64 instead of developing x86/64 until AMD forced him, and continued with Itanic. He also tried to get Intel involved in the consumer space with silly stuff like keyboards, mice, and crappy digital cameras. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought Otellini was the one who rescued Intel by pushing the new "Core" CPUs when the P4 architecture was clearly a failure.
