This is closer to the mark. I remember rebuilding an NT 4.0 server on x86 after Microsoft dropped Service Pack support for Mips after SP1. We'd been sold a right lemon by the vendor who obviously must've known that about 3 months after NT4 ships Microsoft announced they were dropping MIPS. In the end, instead of buying more expensive IRIX kit or facing the political fallout from going back to Novell my then employer decided to grit teeth and go x86/NT4.
