Definition
wintel
<jargon, architecture> A term describing any computer
platform consisting of some version of Microsoft Windows
running on an Intel 80x86 processor or compatible.
Despite the dominance of the wintel platform, in its many
forms, from MS-DOS on an Intel 8088 to Windows 2000 on a
Pentium II Xeon, there are many "non-wintel" platforms in
use. These include Acorn, Amiga, Apple, ARM, Atari,
ABox, Be, Network Computer, OS/2, PowerPC, Psion,
Linux and all other Unix systems.
