Oops - NT was written by IBM, which MS obvisouly didn't buy. It was
originally called something like "Windows OS/2" or something, then after
the split, most of the really good parts went into OS/2.
I don't remember exactly who wrote Word, Excel, and Access, just that
they were written by smaller companies previous to being purchased by
MS. Anyone know whom?
Cheers,
