I can’t imagine that Windows would be unable (BootCamp) to run on a non-Intel architecture. The user interface software typically does not interact with the platform hardware; the connection between the user interface (Windows/MacOS/Unix) and the hardware architecture is implemented via drivers and I’d be surprised if Microsoft doesn’t have drivers available for non-Intel architectures.
When I worked for Bell Labs we had Unix running on various hardware platforms such as PDP, Vax, Intel, 3B2, 3B5 and 3B20S/D. Each of these hardware platforms had varying architectures and the system calls from the OS depended on the machine-specific drivers to function properly. **************** Bill & Leader Dog Holland - "A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin." - US Editor and Satirist, H.
