It ran on the Alpha hardware because the Windows NT
kernel engineers
came over directly from DEC corporation.

Yes, MS Windows was targeted to other platfoms as well
since it was seen as a "NetBSD" OS at that time (i.e.
runs on any hardware) by way of the benefits of its
HAL subsystem.
Honestly, MS Windows still exists for 'other' target
platforms. Just not sold to the general public...
I can see OpenSolaris distros heading down a similar
path... one day....
