I think rumours of NT's terminal illness have been greatly exaggerated. There are numerous new developments I am hearing about from it, like the adoption of RCU and the memory partitions.
It's not clear to me how processor groups inhibit scaling. It's even sensible to constrict the movement of threads willy-nilly between cores in a lot of cases (because of NUMA locality, caches, etc.) And it looks like there's an option to not confine your program to a single processor group, too.
