I installed RDB last week on my hobby I64 machine. Although I had glancing encounters with VMS through work, it has been a lot of fun to explore some of the features of the OS in depth. I remember having a WinNT RDB eons ago too. But it seems to have disappeared from the web. The Internet Archive has a copy of "Rdb : a comprehensive guide" for loan if anyone is interested.
