It is important to remember that the NT project started in 1988, and where Microsoft was product wise. Microsoft hired Dave Cutler away from Digital to help with the implementation of the OS, back in 1988. The goal was to design a micro kernel OS that could run 32 bit POSIX binaries, 16 bit OS/2 1.x binaries, 16 bit MS-DOS & Windows binaries with an improved 32bit OS/2 API & Windowing system. Originally it was a future thinking version of OS/2 that would be portable, and was targeted for the coming RISC CPUs.
