   You expect NT Magazine to get it right?

   I would not be surpized if other parts of WNT ripped off designs from
   VMS, RSX, RT-11, RSTS, TOPS, or any other DEC product (some of
   which included DOS in thier names).  As you mentioned, other DEC folks
   went to M$.

   But ripping off parts of a design is not the same as getting it
   right.

   VMS decades ago was far more than Windows 8 promises.
