i960 Windows Port (Score 1)

I used to do i960 support for Intel and heard an interesting rumor while I worked there.

Apparently, the i960Cx processors were released around the same time as the 386 and one of the engineers there had access to the Windows source code. He ported Windows to the i960 and showed performance 2x-4x that of the 386.

Management got word of this and quickly ordered the project canceled and all source code deleted. Intel was in the business of selling x86 processors to consumers. i960 was to be embedded-only.
