I made a toolchain for this build, and now we can finally compile apps for the earliest available build of NT!
This April 1991 build of NT actually doesn't look that bad, the black Reversi board was caused by emulator issues. The black section on the right-hand side of the screen however is NT's problem.
After about a week worth of work, @hyenaskyy and @substanc3dev managed to get this Windows NT build from 04/04/1991 shared by @jeffpar booting under emulation.
I have just restored the state save of Reversi, you're now looking at an instance of Reversi started 32 years ago!

This instance of Reversi may even be the exact same one that @osterman saw during 'Thursday beer', given that this state save was created on a Tursday as well.
Patched dwm.exe to force it to render even on incompatible hardware. Should work on Surface RTs too.
Windows 8 build 8061 under emulation - achievement unlocked! Spent days on getting this thing to run under QEMU, lol. A rough guide with all the technical details is now up on @BetaWiki.

Some time ago @scumdisk staged Windows 8 build 8400 ARM32 from the Repair Packages publicly available, and Pro is one of the SKUs available. Build 8400 is a great pre-release build to put on Surface RTs since it's production signed and has all the interesting new features.
Ported MS-DOS Player and now in front of you is the very first version of VisiCalc and @HexRaysSA IDA Pro running under emulation on a Surface RT tablet.
