David -

Your point seems to be the key to the question. While there are versions of NT that run on other platforms, to be able to run software written for Intel-standard hardware, they must simulate the Intel hardware on the non-Intel chip.

If this is the only way around the problem, then I see no risk from MSFT. It seems highly improbable that a software simulation of Intel hardware will ever be able to perform as fast as the actual Intel hardware itself.

Are there any issues I'm overlooking? Is this really the only way for MSFT to get around the problem?
