I remember all the fanfare when Intel switched from the Core2Duo and Core2Quad to the current i-series CPU's with Nehalem in the middle of 2008.

And now we've got Intel's newly announced Kaby Lake processor line, with an MS announcement that Win10 is the only version of Windows supported on that architecture.
Of course, the paranoids decided that meant that earlier versions of Windows would somehow be prevented from
running on Kaby Lake machines, and I think a couple thought Linux wouldn't run on them either.
The distinction between "supported on" and "runs on" got lost somewhere...
