I'd say, what a tease, just to repeat as usual. But more seriously, it is in Microsoft's interest to support competition in x86 processors, cheap PCs work very much to their advantage. Sledgehammer also offers rather obvious advantages in backward compatibility compared to Itanic; remember that Win95, released 10 years after the 386, still had oodles of 16bit code.

Cheers, Dan.
