That surprises me, because the NT Magazine article I read in 1997 
describing NT at the system level was so like VMS (working sets, quantum 
et al) that if I'd known I could have written most of that article 
myself, purely from my knowledge of VMS.

Of course, Cutler wasn't the only one recruited out of DEC.

And I've said this before, but whoever was responsible for NT's pagefile 
creation had probably had no contact with VMS since some point before 
best-try-contiguous files came along (V3.0 or V3.1 IIRC).
