And then Dave "Father of VMS" Cutler jumped over to Microsoft and built NT.
He learned from his mistakes; why waste money on trying to improve the OS
when you can spend it on marketing instead? If nobody's heard of the
competition, it doesn't matter if they're technically superior.
Windows NT is a triumph of the modern viewpoint; style over substance. The
same viewpoint that results in the situation where we'll throw a kid out of
school for kissing a girl, but when he's older if he rapes and murders her
he'll get probation.
