After NT 3.1, I don’t think Microsoft was ever a single processor architecture company.

Beyond what NT supported, WinCE entered the picture in the very late 90s with ARM support among other architectures.

Even before then, their cash cow was first BASIC implementations, on at least 6502 and 8080 relatively initially.

Then Multiplan ran on most of the major microcomputers of the time.

It's interesting that in their history, strict Wintel is more the anomaly in their history.
