bob@coolgroups asked:

I was just wondering if protected mode for the x86 processor was
developed with help or input from Microsoft or if Intel came up
with it singlehandedly.

As this kind of 'protection' follows a weird and paranoid concept, I
think it was on M$-demands and had to be merged in by breaking nails,
just to remain backwards compatibel down to the museum (another M$-idea).

M$ and Intel seems to be engaged anyway, just look at the ISApNp specs.
