   So you're saying it was written from scratch, and has no unix origins?

That's correct.

   It clearly bears little resemblance at this time, but sources who should
   know indicate otherwise......

Well, I was a software engineer there for 5 years and wrote several
megabytes of it myself.  Your sources are highly questionable.

   It really doesn't matter, and we both have better things to do than
   argue about it...its not a general release OS (as Freebsd is) so its
   just not important.

You're right.  Market cap of $36B and they're not important...  more
installed machines than FreeBSD and they're not important...  Good thing
Microsoft isn't important either...
