For the company that has the widest ranging, most popular OS, it only makes sense for them to make the chips that run them to optimize the process.
And, for all those people who complain about Microsoft's products being so crappy... it's probably the same buggers who make the viruses that bring those systems down all the time. A hardware solution is mostly invulnerable to those software threats that have ruined Microsoft's reliability and reputation. If Microsoft didn't have to worry about programming ubersecurity into it's products, it could probably spend more time building a better product. Keep that in mind before you poopoo all of Microsoft's products.
