His name is Dave Cutler, yes, and he more or less copied over the VMS
kernel code into the NT kernel, but simply renamed the functions and the
variables. That's why DEC fired him on the spot and sued Microsoft, but
Gates settled the matter out of court by paying DEC a large sum of money
and conceding to supporting DEC's Alpha processor in NT.

Yeah. It is possible that VMS served as the template for the NTFS
filesystem itself as well, but as I understand it, they also reused some
of the code from HPFS. Certainly not all of it, because HPFS was a very
clean filesystem, whereas NTFS is an ugly mess. But then again, it
comes from an ugly company. :p
