I believe UNIX was developed at Bell Labs about 10 years before VMS hit the streets. And it was developed on a DEC machine, PDP-15 if I remember correctly.
WNT was developed in the early 90s and got its name from VMS. Remember the HAL-9000 in 2001 Space Odyssey?
HAL was derived from IBM. H+1=I, A+1=B, L+1=M. This was done by Arthur C. Clarke
WNT V+1=W, M+1=N, S+1=T
This was done by Dave Cutler.
