well, if you ask me, M$ and Intel, atleast are partners (secretly!), E.G M$ leeks there owns b3tas a few yers before release, at this time people can run as its not finished it will run on there CURRENT hardware. M$ releases new OS, and people buy, they find out it wont run!? so they UPGRADE, and there u go, a perfect partnership and they also give well high-rated Min specs?! the new OS is just overrated and just tooo flashy!!
