Windows NT was supposed to be based partly on VMS, the story went.  I
remember which version it was, because I remember all the initials were one
forward between VMS and WNT, and that association was made at the same
time.

If you've never had the displeasure of "working" with VMS (in itself a bit
of a misnomer, possibly an oxymoron), I don't really recommend it.
