For what I can gather, only AMD K8 and Intel Itanium processors have the NX support, so unless MS can bully Intel/AMD into building this support into existing designs for their older processors, this new support isnt going to kill everything to most people. Well not instantly. This is the problem as MS doesnt control hardware, where as other OS vendors also control hardware - HPUX for example. Therefore Stack Overflow Protection is built in as standard.
