"New processors will only work with Windows 10"
WTF?! They're using some sort of hardware DRM lockdown to kill Linux, FreeBSD, etc? The nerve!
Oh wait, that's not what it said. It said windows 7/8 wouldn't be supported. Stupid link bait title.

1) Windows 7&8 will work on new processors, just like windows XP and 1.0 will. They just won't be updated to use, say, a new instruction set.
2) Windows 10 will in fact get these updates.
3) This won't apply to enterprise customers for 18 months
The article does NOT say:
That future intel processors will only run windows, or only windows 10, or anything remotely of that nature. This is microsoft doing something, not intel and/or AMD.
2. Linux is not Windows 10.
3. Therefore, new processors will not work with Linux. QED.
Except that is incorrect.
(Besides the fact that the processors with work with 7/8 too.)
