Had Intel stared Microsoft down with an incompatible implementation of x86-64, AMD would have been out of business by now.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda...

You assume Intel dictates to M$? Evidently, they don't.

An alternative outcome is that Intel's incompatible extensions would fail to catch on, and they'd wind up copying AMD anyways after loosing much face and money.

Again, evidently, a risk they weren't willing to take.
