Unfortunately? overall Global Warming doesn't mean it will get hotter where you are - I'm just over the border in Victoria and we've had our coldest February day ever recorded and our wetest day ever.
Of course, somewhere else in the world is correspondingly warmer which might be nice for them in the winter but it doesn't bode well for the Earth in general.
In my experience my mobile phone ceases to work when I power it off. I certainly don't need to go to Scotland for this (though a certain large white building on the Isle of Skye has certain attractions).
But Microsoft already did this. NT4 was originally developed on MIPS and then "ported" to IA32 and Alpha.
Most of the original work on the 64bit Windows for Itanium was done on Alpha (as no Itanium chips were available).
Assumint that no new 32 bit dependancies have been built into 2000 and XP (big assumption here) then a simple recompile should get things moving on other architectures again.
