BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Preliminary, its launch schedule was some 3 months earlier in October this year.
What the hell is the reason behind? Delay of new architecure of their principal hardware partner, perhaps?
Ooops, is that a reason why AMD delayed its AM2 processors launch for 3 months too? Or AMD is now Microsoft's principal partner?

Seems that this Vista delay will help a lot of AMD, because it should launch in January 2007 its first 65nm processors. The new, K8L ones ?
