philipah, re:"'Wintel' slowly moving apart, says this article:"

Another typical "fractured" business article. The title has little to do with the reported facts, which has nothing to do with the conclusion!

Well - anyway I'll stick with the title theme. Anyone who is savvy to the Wintel relationship knows that these two have been trying to move independently from the get go - just that fate won't let them!

As each company makes moves for self sufficiency the other counters in a way that make dependency the profitable thing to do. Very interesting "marriage". Reminds me of Bill's and Hillary's...

This is one accurate quote from your article"

"Everyone thinks Microsoft and Intel are married, but we've just seen that they aren't. They don't always behave the same way. They're very different companies -- their temperaments, their way of doing business," said one executive at a leading Silicon Valley company.
