Wintel
Wintel (portmanteau of Windows and Intel) is the partnership of Microsoft and Intel producing personal computers (PCs) using Intel x86-compatible processors running Microsoft's Windows operating system. == Background == By the early 1980s, the chaos and incompatibility that was rife in the early microcomputer market had given way to a smaller number of de facto industry standards, including the S-100 bus expansion board, the CP/M operating system, the Apple II home computer, the use of the programming language Microsoft BASIC in read-only memory (ROM), and the 5+1⁄4 inch floppy drive storage medium.
