What exactly do you think this page says and what is part of that comment is “apparently not” in response to?
- thaumasiotes 3y agoHere's what the page says: > It has been suggested that Dave Cutler intended the initialism "WNT" as a play on VMS, incrementing each letter by one. However, the project was originally intended as a follow-on to OS/2 and was referred to as "NT OS/2" before receiving the Windows brand. One of the original NT developers, Mark Lucovsky, states that the name was taken from the original target processor—the Intel i860, code-named N10 ("N-Ten"). I can't figure out what this is referring to, though. Maybe you can do better.
