An interesting article on DEC

[mikebw at colossus.bilow.com]

It's a great article. I was the principal consultant for IDS in that 
era, and there is a staff alumni group active on Facebook where I posted 
this link.

I disagree with a number of the claims in the article, especially that 
Windows NT was based on VMS when in fact it was based on and developed 
using OS/2. There is a good and detailed book about this:
