And that's about the only shift it made. As an old VAX herder I was 
disappointed to find that the command set in NT was nowhere near as 
useful as that in VMS. Even more so when I played with NT on an Alpha 
box - I expected the command set to be VMS, since it was on a DEC machine.

I think I'm not busy enough today.
