This could also be referring to the widespread belief at the time that NT would run on any platform. Any architecture, not any OS. Not sure, hard to say. I recall a lot of smoke and mirrors back then because MS didn't want to fully take the wraps off Windows 95 and were trying to misdirect competitors. (Which, back then they had quite a few more.)
