It turns out, Microsoft very much agrees with Andy:

"6. Why aren't Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012 platforms

significant challenges with some operating systems requiring extensive
architectural changes. Microsoft continues to work with affected chip
manufacturers and investigate the best way to provide mitigations."
