You’re lying about what I said. Don’t lie about what I said.

I never lie; you quotes are taken verbatium from your posts. In it's entirety, you said

I already gave all the proof anybody needs. You gave nothing. NT is not new from the ground up. (Emphasis is mine) The sources are simple reality, the Windows box that’s probably in front of you right now has tons of DOS legacy in it, some of which I already listed.

Here's yet another source, as you apparently have not learned that you are in error.

Windows NT 3.1 was the first version of Windows released by Microsoft that was not based on a DOS kernel. NT 3.1 used a clone of the Windows 3.1 UI, but, unlike Windows 3.1, NT 3.1 was a 32-bit operating system written from the ground up.

You see, unlike you; Devnet currently does this stuff for a living, and I used to do R&D work on the hardware side. When someone starts spouting misinformation, it is best to educate them (not insult them, humiliate them or browbeat them) so they understand their error. Your misstatement has ramifications that are entirely untrue, and will be a huge impediment to someone trying to learn about how an OS functions. This may not impact you in the least; but you will very likely create a Machiavelli Mechization in your efforts to helps someone. On your part, it will be an honest, honorable and friendly piece of advice; the result will look like you sabotaged the recipient.
