   The fact that many of the ports you mention never made it to production   
   release, and even the ones (other than x86) that did are now defunct, I   
   think reinforces my point. The ports were difficult and expensive to   
   create, and difficult and expensive to maintain. In the end they were all   
   just abandoned.   
      
   Even the concept of a portable OS seems to have gone from Windows   
   nowadays. It has taken Microsoft a lot of trouble to come up with the ARM   
   port, for example, and I don’t think the compatibility issues have   
   entirely been worked out, even after all these years.   
      
   A RISC-V Windows port will likely never happen.
