"Originally, we were targeting NT to the Intel i860 (code-named 'N-Ten)', a RISC processor that was horribly behind schedule. Because we didn't have any i860 machines in-house to test on, we used an i860 simulator. That's why we called it NT, because it worked on the 'N-Ten.'"

So NT from VMS is not true as pointed out above. However a funning one that is suppose to be true is from the 2001 Space Odyssey series. The name of the insane AI was H.A.L.
