How much of Intel's business is in some way tied to a Microsoft OS?




Hardly. About 50% of Intel's profits were coming from notebook chips the last time I looked, which was a while ago. It's fairly safe to assume that most of those notebooks, which may itself be a threatened species, run Windows. That's a scary number, but it's not 99%, and there are an awful lot of server, enterprise, and technical computers running x86 from Intel using some OS other than Windows.
