Ah, that explains it.
A Microsoft "technical" bimbo at a presentation said,
"NT is 95% portable C code, we even have a 68000 version running on a
Mac, but no immediate plans to release it."
He was obviously clueless, but he might have been part right.
And, if it really were "portable code", then it wouldn't be an impossible
project to recompile a big-endian version.

the 68000 version of Windoze NT?
Not possible.
NT required a little-endian processor.
A PPC version existed. The processor was in little-endian mode to run it.
