They need the hardware ready for the software to go onto in future.

See the 8 Virtual Cores:

Its actually quad core Hyperthreading is why its shows up 8 cpu graphs in task manager. Basically it allows the each cpu core to call on spare capacity in the form of another core when its required. Ofcourse most applications are still only single threaded so it wont make much difference in everyday computing other than looking cool in TM.

pfft, it also looks great in vista gadgets too :p (when you find ones to support a quad core with hyper threading...)
