@MichaelKjörling I worked at SGI at the time when you could run Windows NT on MIPS systems in a supported configuration by SGI itself. I recall Windows NT on Alpha systems prior to graduating from the university too (back in '95).

@MichaelT The NT 4 installation CD had binaries for a number of architectures. I believe Alpha was one of them.

Not only was it possible, but the DEC Alpha machines were the fastest NT machines around.
