Windows NT PPC on Amiga PPC kit?

[LoadWB]

Has anyone ever tried or tried and succeeded in loading the PPC version of Windows NT on Amiga PPC gear?

There were PPC-versions?!
I thought it was x86 and Alpha only...??  :-?

Reportedly old Windows NT (was it 3.51?) runs on Pegasos but there is no PPC software available and thus useless.

Although the Windows NT 4.0 CD has a sub-directory called PPC, there is actually no PPC version available.  It is quite a mystery why that was included on the CD.  I've heard maybe they were developing one, or that 3.51 was available on PPC.. not sure, though.

BUZZZZZZ! Wrong answer!

There was a PPC version of NT 4.0 but Microsoft discontinued support for after service pack 2.

If you have an early original CD of NT 4.0, like I do, it has a complete working PPC version on it.  ;-)

Before EFIKA and power.org there was CHRP, and Microsoft, IBM, Apple, Sun, they were all supposed to run on it:

Would have been nice to see Amiga on it too :-)

The current powerpc-based xbox 360 runs a powerpc version of windows... like DUH!!!!!

Wouldn't that be the trip... Apple switched to Intel for whatever political reasons were really behind the switch, and Microsoft begins the move to support PowerPC.

You know, it won't to too many more years before these two ego-maniacal obsessive-compulsive control freaks are no longer involved in the industry and we might start to see some real progress and innovation rather than a pissing match between the 70's hippie and the 70's business man.
