They didn't actually combine VMS, just used the main developer. For
that, they paid royally later and ended up supporting DEC Alpha
machines for many years. I had several customers running Alpha
machines with WinNT on board.


Curious, at lot of the naming internals in NT3/NT4 were very close to
those in VAX/VMS ....


There was no NT-3
Windows 3.x consisted of Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups (3.11),
and Windows 95 and 98 (aka Windows 32x)

Windows NT is Windows 4.0

Windows 2000 is Windows 5.0

Windows XP is Windows 6.0

Windows Vista is Windows 7.0

That was the influence of Dave Cutler, who was hired from DEC.


What happened to Windows NT 3.1 & 3.5?
