minus-squareTheWilliamist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 天前Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?
minus-squarethebigslime@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 天前Yes it supported PPC and MIPS, which are RISC platforms.
minus-squareleftzero@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 天前The NT kernel is built on top of a hardware abstraction layer, which should make it easier to port it to different architectures.

minus-squareoctoblade@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 天前Yeah, porting the kernel is the “easy” part for any OS. Its the user space and building up a software ecosystem for the new architecture that is a pain in the ass.
minus-squareTheWilliamist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 天前To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 天前Alpha, yes, and modern Windows has been ported to ARM.
minus-squaredeltapi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 天前And MIPS too. NT 3.1, 3.5, 4.0 all saw MIPS, Alpha, and x86 releases.
