- evanelias 3y agoI've heard conflicting stories about the VMS/WNT naming thing being a deliberate choice by Cutler. (If you increment each letter of VMS by one, you get WNT i.e. Windows NT.) Some say it's just a coincidence. I wonder if anyone on HN has first-hand knowledge.
- fredoralive 3y agoIt's probably a coincidence, seeing as Windows NT started out as "NT OS/2"[1]. Unless "MS NR/1" has a secret inner meaning as well.
