Latest I've heard, M$ is dropping the PowerPC and MIPS ports of NT. So NT
will only run on Alpha and x86 (not that it's a bad thing) aside from all
the weird ports M$ is doing, e.g. to IBM mainframes, not that anyone who
uses an IBM mainframe would want anything to do with the (relatively,
compared to MVS) unstable NT.
