Somewhat related. I always thought it was silly that "NT" meant New Technology. Especially since when it boot it says "NT" Technology. A little redundant. I guess there will be no guessing with Vista.

I thought NT was ment to represent "NetWorking"?

EDIT: Nm, i was wrong, just read the windows nt wiki page.
