Charles, Re: "Re: "NT is also ported to other architectures, and in theory one might have chosen it to run an Alpha box, etc." What "etc.?" Intel and Alpha are pretty much all now, aren't they? And Alpha seems a bit shaky." I don't get your point. Please explain what you mean by "Intel and Alpha are pretty much all now, aren't they?" Tony

Agreed. Re. "etc.", they used to have a PowerPC port, but dropped it. And as you say Alpha's iffy now, hence my qualifier "in theory". The point is that the majority of the work to make NT portable has been done. With the money MSFT has they could develop new ports if need be.
