Windows NT was intended to be the successor of which OS, originally created by Microsoft and IBM?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
OS/2
💡 Explanation:
Windows NT was originally developed as OS/2 NT, intended to be the successor to OS/2 - the joint operating system project between Microsoft and IBM. When the partnership dissolved, Microsoft pivoted to develop Windows NT independently, while IBM continued OS/2. POSIX and DOS are not correct, and VMS influenced NT's architecture but wasn't its predecessor.
