In a manner of speaking, yes. It ran on PC hardware, but when it was first released the system requirements were at the high end of the spectrum. (Local bus, 32MB RAM, fast disk, specific graphics cards, etc.) In 1993-4, I lived in a dorm over a store that focused on NeXTStep/PC hardware (Omegabyte in Austin, TX), and remember it being around a 4-5K proposition to get started, at least. Flash forward a couple years to Summer 1995, and the NeTXStep system requirements are easier to attain. Unfortunately, by then both Linux and Windows 95 have made it a lot less important.
