The company is also hoping that
Microsoft will support its move. Sanders explained: "Sledgehammer will be
an extension of current x86 instruction, and yes, for us to win out, we need support from Microsoft and that's a risk. They could say no."


Scot and thread;

Why would MSFT support this move? If I understand this correctly, it means selling less new software for MSFT.

The other key is whether companies would need both
32 bit and 64 bit simultaneously. Why would they not simply go over to 64 bit at one time?
