Kintaro:
Oh yes there is an Open Source Windows NT in the making: www.reactos.com

Calum:
what a crock! (conceptually speaking, that is...)

i may have to read more about reactOS, they are seriously trying to do for NT what OpenBe is doing for BeOS... why oh why...

Kintaro:
If some windozer tells you the virtues of NT tell them to use reactos and tell them to read these. They might help the project...

--- Quote ---but Bill gates was working on OS/2 with IBM and then stole the code and went off by himself with Microsoft, didnt he? So in reality isnt/wasnt there some code from OS/2 windows. Windows is a lot like OS/2 isnt it, isnt that basically what Bill was basing it off of when he started windows?
--- End quote ---

Substitute "Mac OS" for "OS/2" and you'd be pretty close.

The story goes that Bill Gates asked Apple to share some of the source code to the Mac OS with MS so that MS could write better apps for it. Apple actually trusted MS at the time. Then MS released a very Mac-looking GUI they called "Windows", where before they'd had just plain ol' DOS. Apple has been reluctant to share source code with MS ever since.
