	Wintel
		Wintel is a colloquial, often pejorative, term used to describe industry standard desktop computers of the type commonly used in homes and businesses in the wealthier parts of the world since the late 1980s, which usually combine the Microsoft Windows operating environment system with Intel's x86 processor architecture.
		Intel and Microsoft, once the closest of partners, have operated at an uneasy distance from one another since their first major dispute (which was to do with Intel's heavy investment in the 32-bit optimised Pentium Pro and Microsoft's delivery of an unexpectedly high proportion of 16-bit code in Windows 95).
		The Wintel platform is the dominant desktop and laptop computer architecture, and has now spread to be a leading architecture in the server space.

	Wintel and Nokia Squaring Off on Smart Phones
		There are upward of 400 million mobile phones sold yearly, and as they become smarter and more data intensive, Microsoft and Intel want to be on their screens.
		The only problem is the companies that currently hold mobile-phone supremacy have seen the end results of the Wintel domination plot line, and they'll do anything to avoid it.
		Wintel will attempt to crack the market through the cheaper models of second-tier phone manufacturers.

	OpenOSX: WinTel, Run Windows on your Mac
		The Intel calls are native, no longer requiring translation when emulating the host operating system when running on the Intel based Macintoshes.
		VirtualPC is not known to work on the new Intel Macs, however we can say that WinTel is much faster runnning Windows 98 on the on the new intel Macintoshes than VPC is running on a fast G5.
		We do not recommend using WinTel for CPU intensive applications running on the PowerPC based Macintoshes.

	Comments on Open Source Bochs / WinTel X86 Emulator and Performance:
		Wintel's statement that it's only slightly outperformed by VPC is completely wrong.
		Even after I managed to migrate through their crap of not being able to read CD drives (which was especially a pain since I was using an upgrade CD, so I had to create two drive images), it was dog slow.
		WinTel is our native Cocoa interface for configuring and starting Bochs - that is what we are selling, along with the inconvenience of a double-click installer and support.

	ITworld.com - Wintel server competition leads to more than low prices
		Neighboring Houston-based Compaq is also cutting prices on Wintel servers while ramping up additional sales incentives, such as added technical support and zero-down leasing, according to David Petts, the vice president of Compaq's North American industry standard server group.
		IBM is also getting aggressive with its Wintel servers, which the Armonk, N.Y.-based company recently renamed eServers in conjunction with its eLiza "self-healing" server initiative.
		Palo Alto, Calif.-based HP is also tempting prospective Wintel server customers with what the company believes is an easier migration path to 64-bit Wintel computing, which begins to arrive later this year with Intel's 64-bit Itanium chip.

	MacNN \| OpenOSX updates WinTel 2.1.2
		The free WinTel 2.1.2 update can now install Microsoft Windows XP in about a tenth of the time previously required, according to company claims.
		Version 2.1.2 resolves a potential issue with WinTel's "Image CD-ROM" feature (which images CD-ROMs to an ISO-9660 disk image usable by WinTel), and brings hand-compiled, aggressively optimized Bochs binaries that can be used to install Windows XP in about 10 percent of the time previously required.
		WinTel includes two underlying "virtual machines" or "emulators": one is "Qemu" which is utilizes some dynamic translation for maximum performance and a slower, more compatible "Bochs," which it says is required at this time to install Windows XP on Intel Macs.

		Wintel is a term used to describe desktop computers and servers of the type commonly used in homes and businesses since the late 1980s (these are PC compatible computers running a version of Microsoft Windows).
		There was as yet no sign of the "Win" half of "Wintel," though Microsoft were achieving enormous revenues from DOS sales both to IBM and to an ever-growing list of other manufacturers had agreed to buy an MS-DOS license for every machine they made, even those that shipped with competing products.
		Other markets such as palmtops and mobile phones is now influenced by Wintel as well (even though the Wintel acceptance on the handheld market was low during the introduction era.)

	Linux News: Commentary: Macintosh Justification
		Instead, Wintel proponents are shown as consistently fudging such arguments as rationales for decisions already made.
		One of the oddest facts about the Wintel versus Unix (including Linux and the Mac) debate is that the Wintel proponents practically brag about never having actually used Unix while the most committed Mac/Unix advocates have generally used both.
		It's true, of course, that Apple's share of new desktop sales runs only a bit over 3 percent right now, but the conclusion these commentators draw from this is wrong because the 3 percent is a measure of revenue dollars to PC sellers, not hours of usage by customers.

	IGM - PowerBook G4 Titanium v. Wintel
		Last year we compared the Pismo PowerBook with the high-end Wintel portables and found that the Pismo was the clearly superior market entrant.
		When comparing the PowerBook with the Wintels, I find the omission of this feature even more pronounced; virtually every Wintel portable still offers the option of packing a second hard drive, battery, CDRW or Zip.
		The fact that you still can't take fast networking for granted on a Pro-level Wintel portable demonstrates that the PC manufacturers aren't interested in selling you an integrated computing experience; more accurately, they're interested in selling you parts.

	WinTel PC Emulator Goes Universal Binary \|\| The Mac Observer
		The emulator lets you use the open source Bochs software to install and run x86/Pentium-based operating systems on the Mac while booted in Mac OS X. This new version is compiled as a Universal Binary, letting it run natively on both PowerPC-based Macs, as well as the new Intel-based Macs.
		OpenOSX Wintel 2.0 is available for download at the OpenOSX Web site, and is priced at US$25, or $30 on CD.
		Because I don't care what rediculous flips the programmers did on this new version, the old version was so wildly unusable on a 2ghz G5 desktop that there is now way the new one can be good enough to be useable.
