Holy cow ! End of Wintel
That's called bad: R.I.P. Wintel.
We’ve all been told Windows-Intel was invincible. But the duopoly that has dominated tech for so long may be past its prime. Microsoft recently announced a 24 percent drop in its quarterly earnings. Intel slashed its sales forecast after its earnings plummeted 57 percent from the year-ago quarter. Then Dell, which uses Microsoft software and Intel chips, said it would downsize its second-quarter profit forecast by nearly a third. And while Microsoft, Intel, and Dell are all placing big bets on products in communications and consumer electronics, the raw earnings growth that made each of these companies matter can’t continue in a nearly saturated PC market.
The only mysterious thing is why Intel still favorizes this guy instead of this one political option? During the second's reign Intel's earnings sky rocketed end Wintel era has been established. Curiously, during the first one reign USA economy plummeted, but Israel economy got steady gain? Is the first one President of the USA or Israel? Is Intel actually USA or Israelite company?. Weird. Anyway, those people were in charge in the year when Pentium was announced, Intel's biggest, smashing success. Just in the mid of PC's 25 year life time (some say now in steady decline).
