The "Open" in OpenVMS means "Open Standards", not open source. That is also what is meant in Open Systems which most/all UNIX system are categorized as (OpenVMS is not UNIX though). It is a word not found in Microsoft's vocabulary which is one of the primary reasons they are a monopoly today.

VMS is pretty neat IMO but I don't think it runs on x86.

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...

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?

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.
