Well, sorry if I come off as a useless dingbat, but I do not see why I should bin a thread which started off as Mr.X showing off his creations (whether you wish to call it art or not I will leave up to you).
Sorry I didn't make myself clear I was refering to his shitty "First post" "200th post" and BeOS spam.
Besides, Kintaro and Muzzy were starting an interesting discussion about VAX machines and VMS.
How about changing the title to reflect this change maybe something like "MrX's art and VMS debate"
NT isn't really the VMS kernel. They were written by the same guy,
David Cutler and some of the VAX team I believe.
but aren't that much alike. VMS had a lot more features (like native clustering).
NT is better than the other MS operating systems because it was develoed by different people, but to MS' specification though so it wasn't as good as VMS.
Besides, NT was written based on the *original* VMS kernel, yet, by the time NT was developed, the then-current VMS kernel had been extensively modified. If you looked at it today, NT probably bears no resemblence to whatever the latest VMS is (OpenVMS, I believe).
Did they release it under the GPL then?
Or is OpenVMS a GPLed VMS clone.
Anyway has anyone tried OpenVMS?
If so is it any good?
