n under Windows NT 3.51 and create highly optimized native Win32 applications for DEC Alpha and Motorola PowerPC platforms.РDevelopers who have piled their Win32 sources using these toolsets are amazed at how simple it is. Since the operating system is identical on all platforms, and the tools are identical, little work has to be done in order to achieve a port. The key difference in the RISC machines from Intel is the existence of a native 64-bit integer, which is far more efficient than on 32-bit (that is, Intel) processors.РMicrosoft works closely with two third-party UNIX tools providers, Bristol Technology and Mainsoft Corporation, to allow developers to pile their Win32-based or MFC-based applications for UNIX.
