It's really nice to see an operating system that's based on some new ideas. I always say it's an embarrassment that the two most popular OSs today are a clone of Unix and the bastard child of VMS.

I wonder what percentage of people will get the VMS reference.

"Bastard child" as IBM is the father to the unwed MSFT?

The project leader of VMS, Dave Cutler went to MicroSoft and led the development of Windows NT. That is what I think the VMS reference is.
