Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet.Submitted by TriggerTough t3_10kdpgl in newjersey

The one part of the OS saga you left out is the role played by Dave Cutler. Cutler was a key guy at DEC responsible for RSX-11M and then VMS. He left DEC and joined Microsoft where he led the NT team. The whole NT architecture has his fingerprints all over it and in some ways was a VMS clone.
Never met the guy but I hear he had a real low opinion of UNIX.
