DD,

re: shepherding a young tech company to profitability is a slower process than many investors seem to think it is

As a survivor of a couple of new ventures, I agree with you. Conversely, screwing a young tech company into the ground can be a very slow, painful process as well. I am not addressing this at Transmeta per se, but at new ventures in general.

The same can also be said of more established firms who have lost their way.

Dew -

the TC1000, despite the supposed marketing drawback of having a Crusoe rather than a Pentium inside, holds the leading market share among tablet PC’s by a wide margin.

Slow indeed and very perilous. Being an misunderstood underdog losing money with a good new product coming out "soon" is no guarantee of success. Good luck.
