quote: Yes MS did make a version of NT for SPARC. IIRC Intergraph briefly sold it for their SPARC based systems. Sun ended up purchasing exclusive rights to NT for SPARC so they could sit on it.
quote: In August 1993, Intergraph entered into an agreement with Sun Microsystems to co-develop the next generation Sun SPARC high-end microprocessor, develop a SPARC-based desktop system, and port Windows NT to that system. Sun hired the employees of Intergraph
