Microsoft has been incredibly slow in SIMD instruction support. Even the Intel compilers don't seem to be ready to go when there's a new SIMD instruction set out.

Well MS needs code that runs on the hardware base out there. Fast code for the newest 1% CPUs doesn't help Microsoft. First use of new instructions is usually in apps used for benchmarking. This code is also used to posish icc-versions aware of new instruction sets in its final development stages, i've been told couple years back.
