Your wording seems to imply that you still think NT was built on some earlier MS product. It was written from scratch by a team recruited mostly from outside MS, including the leader, a guy who was I think experienced in VMS development. The names escape me right now. But there were a couple of books, by Helen someone, I think, which helped us outsiders understand some of the philosophies of the development.
IIRC many of the people involved had VMS experience. Apparantly M$ decided they needed a team who knew something about designing and implementing operating systems :)
