   Standards?  UNIX was not anyonss "standard" at the time VMS was
   invented, it was an OS that AT&T had advertised and got no customers
   for.  VMS didn't follow it, MS-DOS didn't follow it, nobody did,
   but they did all know its strengths and weaknesses.

   And don't anyone try to mix up the words "Windows" and "standards".
