   I've had access to a single Alpha/Windows system, and that was a   
   LONG time ago.  I've never seen a MIPS box running Windows.  I   
   suspect that you couldn't find one if you wanted to.  You might   
   as well ask how much malware exists for the Altair.   
      
   Its far more likely to be available for you to try out.
