Yes, and that old urban legend, that Windows NT is "better" than VMS, so
the initials are one higher in each position - at least in my alphabet:

VMS
WNT

Lots of interesting little things between VMS and WNT.

When Digital Equipment Corporation collapsed, the architect(s) of VMS
went to Microsoft and were given NT to mold in their own likeness. This
is where rings of security levels originated in modern Windows.

NT 3.5 and possibly 4.0 supported VMS-like versioned files as part of
the filesystem.
