Microsoft's money rocks more than AMD.

building a chip exclusively for a hardware manufacturer is plausable (even if it's a bad idea, but if someone writes a big enough check, ok)
However, a chip that is going to be sold to many manufacturers that is locked to one OS seems 'odd'
but then again, nothing (except possibly stupid contracts with Microsoft) forces anyone to build any products around these chips. Yes they will be the latest and greatest, but are they really going to be enough better that they will be willing to lock themselves in like that?

I would expect Nokia to use this chip. The funny thing is that Intel hired quite a few people who got laid out by Texas Instruments after they got rid of the modem business, and that had been working almost exclusively with Nokia for a long time. History repeating itself?
