quote from the m$ crap:
'Additionally, Microsoft is working with microprocessor companies to >help Windows support hardware-enforced "no 
execute" (or NX) on >microprocessors that contain the feature.'


Although the only currently shipping processor families with >Windows-compatible hardware support for execution 
protection are the >AMD K8 and the Intel Itanium Processor Family, it is expected that >future 32 and 64-bit 
processors will provide execution protection. >Microsoft is preparing for and encouraging this trend by supporting 
execution protection in its flagship Windows operating systems.
