Note that Voica works for Imagination Technologies, and overstates the capabilities of later RISC chips of his selected timeframe (which included… mostly all of them?) - by then, they were starting to lag behind when Pentium Pro came out, and they were getting beaten by the other RISC chips like PA and Alpha.
No doubt. I liked it from a nostalgia perspective. Remember when NT was a multi-platform OS (albeit badly)? The original NT4 install disc listed support for Alpha, i386, MIPS, and PowerPC. I ran it on a DEC Multia for a brief period of time.
Still is. It might have shed PPC, MIPS, and Alpha, but gained Itanium, 64-bit x86, and ARM. (RT runs full Windows on Tegra, and Windows Phone >=8 runs NT as well.)
Itanium, perhaps (though I’ve never had to pleasure of seeing one in person). RT has since been disavowed and trashed (and was really a different OS anyway).

There’s also the IoT version of Windows, which is most definitely ARM on the Pi.
