Ben NT n'a rien a voir avec OS/2 :
- "The reaction within Microsoft was immediate. "They loved it," he said, "when they saw how easy it would be. It was basically Windows on steroids, and not OS/2, which used a completely different programming model." Making NT a 32-bit Windows version instead of an OS/2 product, however, introduced new issues, not all of which were technical. Microsoft had to get ISV and OEM approval, and of course alert IBM to the change. "We did an ISV preview with IBM, and had this deck of about 20 slides, and we said, 'look, this is what we're going to do.' At first, they thought Win32 was a fancy name for OS/2. Then you could just see it on their faces: 'Wait a second, this isn't OS/2.'"
The decision to drop OS/2 for Windows forever damaged the relationship between the two companies. "But we had executive approval, and started the port," Lucovsky said. "So instead of working on an OS/2 subsystem for NT, we picked up Win32." At that moment, he said, the product became Windows NT."
