  Read Showstopper it is about the making of Windows NT. It talks about the people that moved for Microsoft from DEC. https://www.amazon.com/Showstopper-Breakneck-Windows-Generation-Microsoft-ebook/dp/B00J5X5E9U/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=show+stopper+windows+nt&qid=1554405463&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Showstopper-Breakneck-Windows-Generat...

The creator of the NT kernel (Dave CUtler) also created VMS while working at DEC. Because of this, NT have a lot in common with VMS.

    WinNT = ++VMS

      WinNT = ++*(VMS)

  That returns false and now you have to track down a bug because you decided to be clever :D

  Obligitory reminder that the NT name predates Cutler at MS (it was originally called OS/2 NT) EDIT: fix typo

  VMS > WNT :)
