This is wrong. Cairo is not the same as Windows NT. Cairo is the codename
for Microsofts next generation user interface. Do not expect to see Cairo
(or a product of cairo technology) until 1994. Cairo has been showed
publicly at least once, about 6 weeks back.

For more information about Cairo, ask questions on comp.os.ms-windows.*.
It probably won't do anything, good, though, as not much is known about
Cairo.

To make a short reference to mach: Microsoft now employes several of the
former mach-researchers (I believe one of them was leading the mach
project); these people now work mainly on Cairo, and not on Windows NT.
It would probably be safe to assume, though, that the do "consultancy
work" with the NT group -- they do know some microkernel stuff, after
all.
