The question was whether Microsoft reused their NT 3.5 era PowerPC kernel (& presumably some modification of the HAL).

If you can find evidence that’s the case, I’m intrigued.

Why would I engage with you? You trust Large Language Models! I gave you a bit of time earlier, but that was more than enough. I don't suffer fools twice.

I dunno, this write-up both seems a lot more detailed than Wikipedia re: the hypervisor & kernel and agrees with my recollection as foolishly confirmed by an LLM:

Appreciatively discussed on hn!

Doesn’t sound at all like the NT/2000 kernel/HAL/Executive.

If you can find evidence supporting the useless information you posted, I'm intrigued.

LLMs are not sources of information and never will be. No one cares what ChatGPT thinks about anything. It's not helpful to post that, and especially not to then act like it's correct unless someone else has proof otherwise.
