That doesn't prevent MS from simply keeping the defines for other archs for people that still target the old architectures in one way or another.
Exactly. Other than that, what if a high-profile customer wants a custom version of NT to run it on a non-x86 architecture? Do you think Microsoft would not help them out?
In fact, that's how NT got ported to that Clipper architecture.
