Re: Following in its father's footsteps
As one of a small number of people using Unix in the late 70's when VMS came out one wondered 'Why on earth didn't DEC make VMS like Unix' (rather than the clunky RSX11 extension it was). In the following years there were a number of 'Unix like wrappers' over VMS, which did not prosper.
Eventually people realised that they want Unix and they should get real Unix - and Linux arrived to satisfy that need.
Looks like Microsoft have been forced down the same road - will they end up like the once mighty DEC ?
