My first real job out of school was supporting Windows NT on Dec Alpha for a company in Canada.
Things were so weird and wonderful back then. You could get GCC from Microsoft for Windows NT 3.1 for Alpha (crazy). And when Windows NT 4.0 came out there was the FX32 subsystem that ran X86 apps on Alpha (very similar to Apple Rosetta but much earlier).
I did not realize Canada was such a hotbed of Windows NT RISC.
Interesting historical note: the main reason PuTTy exists is because its author was given a Windows NT on alpha workstation and there was no native terminal emulator for it that he needed to connect to other equipment. IIRC, PuTTy still supported alpha into the 2000s until the build machine he had failed.
