I'm a little skeptical. Not because of the spying--that I fully believe. But I have a hard time believing that AT&T, the inventors of UNIX, would write large-scale software on pre-NT Windows. Maybe something got crossed in the retelling.
- wtn 13y agoAlcatel-Lucent owns Bell Labs today.
- IvyMike 13y agoI fail to see how this could be relevant.
- kamaal 13y agoAT&T didn't invent Unix. A bunch of smart guys in a department owned AT&T invented the earliest versions of Unix. Unix of those days by any measure won't be much useful to do anything. Unix is a ecosystem developed over decades. Coming to using Windows NT, its likely some 'real manager' is running the show there. Whose only criteria for using a technology is having the ability to hire the cheapest resource on the market. If you were to go ask the person, he won't be able to list 5 differences between Windows and Unix.
