I'd heard that "Windows NT" was one step on from VMS (as most of the original NT team had worked on VMS)

- tarabukka 14y agoWindows NT is an entirely different codebase to the MSDOS based Windows 9x series; it isn't simply a marketing name. Comparable to Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X.
- freehunter 14y agoOf course NT is completely different, I apologize if my comment made it seem that I was arguing that point. NT is the name for the latest kernel, but New Technology was a marketing term used to describe the reasoning for the name. In actuality, NT stands for nothing officially. New Technology was just what the marketers decided on, for a limited period of time.
