Whether anyone likes it or not, UNIX is the beginning of all the commonly used OSes out there. It has great elements in which others would eventually "borrow". ;)

"All?" No. Windows NT derivatives are based on VMS, not Unix; in the pre-NT days, DOS was based on CP/M which was loosely based on RT-11. Unix doesn't really show up anywhere in the Windows family tree, aside from the POSIX subsystem added to NT versions pre-XP.

Thanks for setting me straight. Windows is crap all on it's own
