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.

More than half of the Intel-based servers are also running Windows,
followed by Linux. Besides the entire server market by volume wouldn't
even amount to 1% of their overall consumer business. They're talking
hundreds of thousands of servers per year, vs. hundreds of millions of
consumer PCs.
