Zachary just wrote the book. The guy in the video saying that they used OS/2
is Dave Cutler the guy that designed VMS and WinNT

Zachary, the guy who designned VMS, was hired by Microsoft to design
NT. He wrote a clean, pure kernal which the microsoft idiots wrecked.
His book is "Showstopper." I recall that he used VMS and at some point
started dogfooding, namely using NT to develop NT.

Don't listen to anything I say about W11.
Turns out the troublesome machine is W10.
Edge removals can't keep up with Edge self-reinstalls,
this year.
Explorer has crapped on USB recognition - enumerated in
disk management but no access through regular explorer GUI.
Drivers and devices removed reinstalled rebooted etc etc etc.
No USB in explorer GUI.
BACK-UP AND RESTORE OF THIS MACHINE USES USB ! ! !
Going to take a long walk.
