Your presumption that poor coding has anything to do with CPU development is 
absurd. There may be times that M$ has to wait on faster chips before 
pushing new technologies or Intel has to wait on M$ before pushing new chips 
(like their 64bit chips that probably won't be get over-hyped until the next 
iteration of Winblows rolls around), but that's hardly evidence of the two 
working hand-in-hand.

Er, that's not called marketing but a software/hardware bundle. Marketing 
would be the propaganda that tries to convince you that you need both. When 
you have no option that's not marketing but a monopoly, which sort of brings 
this all full-circle...
