I was referring to NT, it is Windows isnt it? and yes I could have thrown
in WinCE, I mean what is "everyones" definition of windows. I guess that
is about as confusing as X86 hardware with slot a/b, socket a/b, slot 1/2,
socket 7, socket 370, etc. 

I thought NT 4 ran on SGI, Sun, X86, and they had a beta that ran on PPC
but IBM's PPC not Apples (same chip, and could be hacked to run on Apple
hardware but..). I know they killed it a year or two ago but it is still
modern by Windows standards.
