| Abstract: | The Intel-Microsoft duopoly looks beyond the PC. Roel Pieper, the new president of Tandem Computers Inc., has seen the handwriting on the wall. After 22 years of creating the most sophisticated software and hardware for managing zillions of transactions - tracking trades on the New York Stock Exchange or billing for AT&T's long-distance business - Tandem is about to bet the farm: it will scale back development of proprietory operating-system software and hardware designs. Instead it will build computers around handy prefab parts from Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp. |
