The only problem with that theory is that VMS *had* a security design, and
there isn't one in NT. The only design overlap there is that Microsoft got
some of the VMS design team to come on board for Win/NT. NT got stuck with
having to be backward-combatable with Win 3.1, and you can fill in the blanks
from there....
