In fact, it dates to when AMD released the Athlon XP back in 2001, which was I think the first non-Intel processor that supported SSE. Back then it was discovered that Windows Movie Maker 1.1 shipped with the original RTM release of Windows XP as well as Windows Movie Encoder 7 did not use SSE on non-Intel processors. Luckily by the time of the XP launch in October 2001, MS was ready with WMM 1.2, as well as WME 7.1, which removed the vendor check, and AMD itself had patches as well. BTW, It was reported that it accounted for a dip in the Sysmark 2001 and Winstone 2002 Content Creation benchmarks.
