I remember discussing with a DEC sales 'droid regarding a supposed non
Intel running variety of Windows that was coming really soon now. It
was supposed to become Windows NT. The first release was on an Alpha.
Not the blue skinned variety of machines, but the classic white box
one as demo. That came about as I was studying a MIPS based
workstation running Ultrix on it. And remember this was at UNIX World
a really long time ago. And that demo surfaced some time later. The
big complaint was that when too many windows were open the system
started dragging its feet.


I blame X for that. ;)   I still have that happen...on modern intel crap.

  X never did that on far, far slower hardware.
