x86S eliminates a part of the compatibility path from systems
of yesteryear, but not that many people use these parts nowadays

supposed to buy

I don't know how much circuitry and firmware in motherboard chipsets is
required to support the old compatibility paths, but the manufacturers
would doubtless like to save costs there. This might also make the
machines more "secure" in that special sense used with DRM.

Microsoft would probably like machines where media playing was harder to
intercept, because that would earn them more trust from the media
conglomerates.
