Windows NT is sad for its missed opportunity. MS could have done something inspired by these newer architectures. They did depart from Unix, but to do something in no way better and in many ways worse.
- kayamon 11y agoMS were very inspired, unfortunately by VMS.
- wolfgke 11y agoWhy do you consider being inspired by VMS (which NT is to my knowledge) as unfortunate (serious question)?
