Has anybody heard the term "Wintel"????
So, think about it logically. Wintel is the real world combination of windows and intel. That is why 'supposedly' intel runs windows better than AMD.
Anyhow, with that thought, M$ would never leave it's main partner out to dry like that. For one, there is not even a single AMD corporate rep on the M$ board. So, it will always be avaible for the PC. But, as we have always the the run of the top dawg games, we must now wait for that little black box thingie to either fail or explode.

I see it this way. If it fails on the cute little box thingie, then we are saved from distressful situations of ever trying to load and play and update patches for some item of ill ability.
