UND, Re: The flaw in your argument is that Microsoft is scared that Linux will dominate the AMD64 market. Microsoft absolutely must bring out competitive product, or risk losing a substantial portion of their market.

This is a complete fantasy. Microsoft is leagues ahead of Linux in consumer mindshare, and it would take many years to even put a dent in that. The 64-bit label will do little for Linux sales in the consumer market, so Microsoft has nothing to fear. Linux has barely any marketing presence, and besides, it's not about how many bits the OS has, but rather how many applications run under it. Microsoft has all the cards here, and no amount of 'Droid logic can change that.
