In my last job, I was on the team that handled the Windows NT bulid on DEC Alpha. Native Alpha apps were much faster than the equivalent Intel NT machines. Apropos to this topic, DEC had a sybsystem called FX!32 that was sort of like what Rosetta does for Apple Silicon, allowing Intel apps to be run at useable speeds on Alpha.

If I still had my UltraSPARC, I'd be wanting to find the SPARC port of Windows NT.
