They have the most to lose. I think all of you that know UNIX and Linux appreciate the fact that M$ prime product, any thing based on the NT kernel, is actually a UNIX like OS. In fact the NT kernel and related libraries are based on a UNIX kernel, namely VMS.
It is my understanding that the original base for NT was written by Dec (Digital) engineers, and was VMS on a PC, until Microsoft took it in house.
I thought that NT was bill's answer to OS/2 after he split from ibm. That is why there is still an os/2 directory in the system directory somewhere. Mike
Can anybody confirm that?
