- An NT port would be nice. But I'm not exactly convinced at the
- portability of applications across platforms. Then again, I do not
- know much about NT. If NT was the ONLY OS you intended to run might
- as well get a 386/486 or if you really want speed a 586 or Alpha
- machine.
-
- Now if you would like to run both NT and AmigaDOS an NT port would be
- handy and probably much nicer than running it on a bridgeboard. But
- why do you want to run NT. If it is one or two apps then C= could
- probably pay for their development with less trouble and expense than
- porting an OS.
