I vaguely remember when Windows NT 4.0 came out it was a somewhat big deal in nerd circles that it would be able to run on Macintosh computers. I've read up a little about this online and it appears to be true...I've also recently acquired an old Power Mac tower and would like to try it out.
System 9 leaves a lot to be desired for me, I've got nothing against it but like many people who grew up on the x86 side, I can't figure out what makes it tick and I don't like that. I'm assuming software for x86 NT isn't compatible with PowerPC NT? Where could I even go about getting a copy? I'm sure it seems like sacrilege to some but I think it'd be neat!

Where could I even go about getting a copy?
This forum can't help you with that.
NT would run on the powerpc not just any apple version.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPCYou had to get a converter program to run ms apps but its been so long I have forgotten its name.

neelchauhan it is not against the law to put nt on powerpc since nt was designed to install on powerpc.

NT4 PPC was released, but I don't think many service packs were released for it. You definately can't install SP6a on it, so you would be running an unpatched system. Microsoft kind of abandoned it in favour of x86 and Alpha
