I believe the problem isn't the CPU itself, but drivers for the rest of the platform. Windows 7 doesn't have support for USB 3, I2C, secure boot, I2S audio, and lots of other new technologies. Keeping drivers and BIOS maintained (for what is likely a small number of users) is the problem.

The OS doesn't come with drivers for everything but that doesn't mean others won't write drivers either.

  That's correct however in the past Microsoft has taken upon themselves to write Bluetooth, USB, and other drivers because what was out there was crap. They're not going to do this for new hardware, they're just going to say "that's unsupported please upgrade or contact your OEM for the necessary drivers."
