- 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.
