MS were very inspired, unfortunately by VMS.

Why do you consider being inspired by VMS (which NT is to my knowledge) as unfortunate (serious question)?

It's just... sigh... I dunno.

It's like COBOL. Or COM. There's nothing in any way pleasant about it. It's undeniable that it works, and perhaps gets things done in a practical manner.

But there's no love in it. Just my 2c though.
