> In the past MSFT was always wedded to x86

??

WindowsNT shipped on x86, Alpha, and MIPS. Then got ported to X64, PowerPC and Itanium.

For the NT line, historically Microsoft was very supportive of other ISAs. The market wasn't.

(I worked on applications supporting a number of those. x86/x64 won the price/performance war).
