Come on... MS really need to re evaluate the way they compile their OS kernels..

Windows NT4 was compiled and optimised for the 386 CPU, 2000 was a modification to the NT Kernel which was for 486 with Co Processor and above. XP is still capable of running on a 486. When will MS compile the kernel for specific CPUs? and I don't just mean a generic install (XP) and an Itanium Install (XP64)

XP was built on 2000 which was built on NT. It all dates back to 386 machines...
