I wonder what PCs would be like if Intel bought Compaq in 1991 with people like Rod Canion and Jim Harris staying on. I think they were there when Compaq reverse engineered the IBM PC BIOS for example. Thinking about it, an alternative would be buying AST Research instead, which shut down in 1996 (just before ACPI was created) and was having trouble even beforehand. I assume that eventually AMD would do the same thing too.
