This I must quibble with: NT is not "KEWL", it is "CRAP". It is a somewhat
warmed-over VMS rehash, which has suffered considerable brain damage by
having a broken GUI embedded into its kernal, along with other working-over
inflicted upon it by dozens of children with 1 year of coding experience,
who'd never seen a genuine multi-user OS in their lives.
If M$ had even done a simple port of VMS to x86, that would have been
*vastly* better than NT. At least VMS was securable.
