That's almost entirely wrong.
Both Windows (NT) and Linux can run on either CISC or RISC
processors. Windows has run on MIPS CPUs and on DEC Alphas,
though I don't think W2K does. Linux of course has been
ported all over the place.
Besides, the designations "CISC" and "RISC" are really pretty
broad terms that don't tell you much. They certainly don't
tell you anything about the feasibility of porting an operating
system to a system based on a particular CPU.
