Re:x86 assembly doesn’t have to be scary (2018) by Koshkin on Thursday October 07, 2021 @02:29PM (#28790326)
Ideally - ideally IBM would have created and used their own microprocessor based on the System 370 architecture. But no - for them the PC was a glorified typewriter: even PS/2 (based on 80286) was mostly positioned for use merely as a "smart" terminal for mainframes. So, today the entire world is basically run on faster "typewriters" (sometimes enhanced to include "windows" - even on the server side).
