On my excursion to COMPUTERWORLD web site I saw a article from Jan 97 
titled 
The Egg, VMS, or NT.

It said Dave Cutler was the chief architect of NT used to work for (Bought
from?) from DEC. 
He was one of the original architects of VMS.   It went on to say that 
"Many of NT's internal data structures resemble those of early VMS. "

Hmmm      IBM ->  HAL   as   VMS  ->  WNT   .    Just a letter off.   Hmmmm
I guess Microsoft does "invent"  alot of NEW things.  (Did they invent
DOS?,  Hmm
Did they invent the Window interface or was it an Apple in someone elses
eye?)
 Now about that "Launch Pad" ,   What an orginial idea,  I guess it's in
their OS Too or is 
that OS/2?
