The point was that Intel, if they want, can do advance work on MSFT OS level code for a 64 bit X86 extended chip and no one but Intel would know. Sure, the on-site guys are working Itanic. But Intel has a pipe for that code tree and plenty of folks who understand X86.

I am a little concerned about the complacency around how much time AMD would have before Intel could field a product. If Intel determined to do a superset of AMD64, OS software would not be much of a barrier, despite the claims of some folks here.
