I think the real reason for the stamp was to assure people that the AMD chip
could run any WIndows program. There was the stigma at that time - if the
CPU didn't have the Intel logo on it, you computer wouldn't run all of the PC
programs.

Ugh... this takes the cake.
I was pulling apart a 486 logic board, and I pulled the heat sink off the
chip... to be greated with an AMD 486 chip with "Made for Microsoft
Windows" and the Windows logo stamped on it.
What... no other OS is supposed to use an intel compatible processor?!? I
am sure anyone that bought this chip to use with any other OS probably
paid an MS tax because of that stamp!
Just for that, I think I might see if I can get my Intel build of
Rhapsody to install on it.
Ok, so it isn't 10 years or older, but at least you people can understand
the pain.
