<All Intel need do to satisfy Microsoft's OS group is to implement the Hammer ISA in supervisor mode. They could still go with an incompatible instruction set in user mode, supplying their own compiler for production of Intel x86-64 extension applications.>

You are missing the point. Intel does not have to satisfy Microsoft. They have to make sure that they are successful in the marketplace. Having two different ISAs in OS and user modes would be insane in itself, let alone lacking MS devtools and runtime support.
