Agreed. All companies make mistakes. The distinction is how companies fix those mistakes. The only complaint I would make against Intel is the lack of TRIM support for G1 drives, other than that its hard to fault them. (In fairness they never said TRIM would be provided, but it was petty minded not to).

Also a big difference between a geniune mistake and a deliberate deception.
