Is Intel ready to adopt Windows 7?

When Microsoft released Windows Vista nearly three years ago, it seemed only natural that the other half of the "Wintel" duopoly -- Intel -- would become an early adopter within a matter of months.
However, Microsoft Vista was buggy, sluggish, a resource hog, and initially many hardware peripherals wouldn't work with it due to lack of device drivers. A majority of corporate IT departments decided to stay with Windows XP to this day.
Microsoft's partner Intel was one of them. It eventually admitted it would not deploy Vista internally to its own employees.
