There was also an early version of Windows Media Player for Linux - complete with a spiffy Motif interface!
And there was a DEC Alpha port of Windows NT.
[EDIT: I don't believe it was called "Windows Media Player" exactly, but it was a media player for x86 Linux from Microsoft. Can't find a link to it after a cursory search, but it did exist - I used it]
- yangyang 14y agoThere were NT ports to MIPS and PowerPC too.
- cmbaus 14y agoI think NT was originally developed on MIPS and ported to x86.
- yangyang 14y agoDave Cutler was very fond of MIPS and worked on that port, but I think it was done concurrently with the x86 version.
- wglb 14y agoI don't think this is true. From what I can figure out, Windows was ported to MIPS, but had always been first done on intel hardware. Do you have a link or reference for this? Curious.
- jensnockert 14y agoIt was originally developed for a Microsoft internal Intel i860 workstation, that's also from where the name NT comes from.
