Absolutely wrong. OS/2 was designed by IBM as a replacement for Windows. NT was designed by Microsoft, and was very much based on Digital's VMS from where Cutler and many developers came. NTFS may have used techniques that IBM had in HPFS.
You'd better brush up on your history. IBM hired MS to develop OS/2. MS misappropriated the money to develop Windows. OS/2 was to be the desktop system and NT the server. http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/OS2History.html "By late 1990, Microsoft had intensified its disagreements with IBM to the point where IBM decided that it would have to take some overt action to ensure that OS/2 development continued at a reasonable pace. IBM, therefore, took over complete development responsibility for OS/2 1.x, even though it was in its dying days, and OS/2 2.00. Microsoft would continue development on Windows and OS/2 3.00. Shortly after this split, Microsoft renamed OS/2 V3 to Windows NT." -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
