Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?

The NT kernel is built on top of a hardware abstraction layer, which should make it easier to port it to different architectures.

It's a neat kernel, shame about the Windows on top of it.

To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂
