NT _does_ technically run in 8.  A friend of mine got masochistic one time
and tried this.  It takes 10-15 minutes to load, and after pressing 
CTRL-ALT-DEL to login, expect about a minute delay for the login prompt to
appear.  Do not attempt to run anything under such an NT system.  So, to be
absolutely correct, NT runs in 8, but is not usable (far less usable than
OS/2 with 4 megs).

Happy to add a bit of technical trivia.

Farewell-
