UNIX= Grand-daddy of all modern operating systems?

[Mike Schwartz]

Wasn't there a thread somewhere recently (maybe here on PLUG-discuss?)
stating that the original name for [what eventually became] "Windows NT",
was "OS/2 3.0"?  I think it was partly based on some BSD or something.
Plus, I think it served as the baseline for many later versions of Windows
(e.g. W 2000 etc.)
