"We stayed away from the 386 for a while to avoid getting sucked into the architecture," he said. "We didn't want to use non-portability assumptions." If they had targeted Intel's volume chip from day one, he said, they would have had a higher performing system initially, but it would have hurt NT in the long run, and made it harder to pursue new architectures as they did recently with the 64-bit Itanium versions of Windows Server 2003.

Ja sam na newsima čuo i drugačiju verziju...a to je da je Intel uvjerio NT developere da će i860 biti "next big thing". Ah taj Intel, stalno neki gafovi u predviđanju novih arhitektura :)
Citat:
"We did an ISV preview with IBM, and had this deck of about 20 slides, and we said, 'look, this is what we're going to do.' At first, they thought Win32 was a fancy name for OS/2. Then you could just see it on their faces: 'Wait a second, this isn't OS/2.'"
