I would discount almost every word this guy said. Consider this one, "Protecting the investments of our developers and customers is very important to us." Now consider how fast they dropped the investment of customers and developers in SH and MIPS processors. When the larger base became ARM, Microsoft move to the biggest pile in a New York minute. Now the bigger pile is XScale. You have to believe that somewhere in Redmond somebody is saying, "Hey, why don't we dump ARM V4 and support the biggest group of users that are now on ARM V5? We need to protect their investment!"
