Yes, networking code is from BSD. But the kernel design owes a lot to  
VMS, because Cutler, the chief architect of NT also designed VMS. He  
brought 20 of his Digital co-conspirators with him as well.

Then there's that whole "V+1 M+1 S+1" thing. Unlike "I-1 B-1 M-1",  
it's probably true.

Russinovich's article is pretty good, and this is about the only  
place you'll find it for free, so remember to keep it if you want it!
