If MS' focus is on AMD, why is it that they delayed the release of AMD64 versions of their software by more than six months? (Coincidentally, just about the time Intel will be shipping their AMD-compatible processors.)

Is it just possible that MS still need a little bit more time (as usual) to get just part of it right? i.e. get at least some of the bugs out!!
