To be fair -- something I rarely feel in connection with MICROS~1 --
when XP came out in 2002, AMD Sledgehammer did not exist yet. There
was no x86-64 and the only Intel 64-bit architecture was Itanium.

So I feel that they have some excuse.

We should actually give MS _some_ credit on this, because it's only
thanks to MS that Intel didn't do a totally separate incompatible
64-bit x86 extension.
