Craig Conway, the guy who got bounced out of PeopleSoft in the middle of its prolonged and eventually hopeless fight to stop Oracle from taking it over, has been named to AMD's board. Conway has a talent for rebuilding companies but as president and CEO of PeopleSoft, the PeopleSoft board decided the former Ellison lieutenant's rosy statements about the impact Oracle's hostile takeover bid was wreaking on the company misled investors and without sugarcoating its "loss of confidence" ignominiously tossed him out on his ear. In a later videotaped deposition Conway admitted he lied. What he said wasn't that material but the board had already grown disaffected with his other actions.
