If you compare the MSFT discussions with this AMD discussion, you will find that MSFT believers focus very much on server systems with only Microsoft software on it. These are servers running only a few software products that need to be IA-64 optimized, like MS SQL server, Exchange server, Windows 2000 server etc. That is also where you need 64 bit - not on the client.

On the client, Intel continues to provide Pentium processors...

I don't believe that everybody wants to have 64 bit on the desktop right now, especially since most software on the desktop will be 32 bit for quite a while. Except maybe Linux software.
