John, I don't know if this is of any relevance, but if a public announcement

is ever made it could be big for AMD. Out of curiosity I e-mailed Microsoft to see what they had to say about supporting Sledgehammer with x86-64 extensions. Here is a copy of the e-mail:

I would just like to know if Microsoft is planning to support AMD's future Sledgehammer processor with x86-64 extensions.

This would be big news if Microsoft were to announce Windows x86-64.
