To see what?  The operating system itself running with no applications. I prefer to see the machine turned off :). 
Guess why Intel and AMD still do not drop the ancient x86 code being such a sh... ?
Guess why MS is doing so much promotion to .Net. Probably MS agreed that with Intel. That's just speculation but probably
Intel wanted to drop it and asked for a solution to MS. How things are seems that we are still going to be using x86 for a while.
At least a couple of years. I have not seem so much people moving to .Net in fact what I see is that Java is rising a lot. Sure Intel 
said that they where goint to drop that CISC/RISC thingie to turn to RISC and later to EPIC, I don't know what they where thinking
but I was sure that AMD was going to screw it up with x86 64 bits, and of course later Intel was going to screw it even more with 
incompatible 64 bits. We are going to have x86 for quite some time.
