Isn't true that once MSFT tried selling Windows 95 screen saver for $25?

Yeah, it's called Microsoft Plus! I remember paying something like $40 for that worthless pile of crap!

Originality. Unix started from a great research tradition (bell labs, Berkley etc.). NT started by compying from all other OSs.

This is not true, NT didn't start by copying from all other OS's. It started with code Cutler stole from DEC. Presumably, it mostly copied from VMS.

Cheers, Dan.
