Why are we still saying "Wintel" when Macs have been using Intel processors for years, and now non-Intel platforms are a much more significant part of Microsoft

Why are we still saying "Wintel" when Macs have been using Intel processors for years, and now non-Intel platforms are a much more significant part of Microsoft's strategy than ever?
- mitchty 14y agoI think the distinction is the windows/intel portion of the market. Of which macs aren't at all a member. Basically the 90's/2000's are over for the Windows/Intel "sure thing". Given Microsoft is now also looking at arm, Intel is going to have a harder go at the Windows side of things. And if the rumored Apple arm laptops pan out, they've lost a very high end vendor as well. But I'm deviating from my reply, enough squirrel banter.
