OT: RISC NT and POSIX compliant

>>Yes NT will run on your beloved SGI machine!..<<

NT dropped support for Power PC a while ago and recently MIPS chips simply due to market demands. Alpha still going but not much sales as a percentage.

>>NT = POSIX Compliant.. you did know that didn't you?

NT was never POSIX compliant, dropped from the first version for the good reason joe mentioned.
