At the time, NT being able to run on multiple architectures (e.g Alpha), was rather impressive esp. at the time. Believe this was based from a lot of the knowledge of the former DEC team working on NT. Reading the comments here, esp. about drivers, it makes me now think how much engineering went towards this and perhaps the limitations around the driver architecture, that could have been put towards a stronger driver design AND hot add of certain SW, as I probably lost a year of my life waiting on NT reboots.
