When did Microsoft not "support" AMD CPUs?

It truly would not make any difference if Microsoft "supported" the M1 CPU, as Apple does not sell it to anyone without the rest of Apple computer attached to it. I mean, you can run Windows VMs on M1 computers now, with something like Parallels. But perhaps not more directly, as with Boot Camp?

What are you trying to say here? In what way is AMD not "winning" the 64+ core CPU performance game?

Obviously you have to run ARM Windows, but it’s indeed Windows.

If I understand this article correctly, as of April 2021, you can run Windows on ARM under Parallels virtualization software, which is a Virtual Machine, or VM. So that's not direct to hardware, which I thought Boot Camp was?

Boot Camp is direct on hardware indeed. VMs cover a significant proportion of the gap however.

K6 ? AFAIK "Wintel " is not a joke. MS only cares about intel.

Don't you know AMD64? Microsoft's AMD64 adoption makes Intel to support IA-32e.
