[Xitami] win2k directory security

> NT is built off of OS/2?

Distantly. 

IBM and MS worked together on a clean (not DOS) operating system. Later
they had a falling-out. IBM released OS/2, and soon after MS released
NT. They have quite different user interfaces, but much in common
underneath. And NT has or had some support for OS/2 programs with a
limited subset of Presentation Manager functions. 

As for security and multitasking: if CPM/DOS are at one end, with Win9x
just above, and a good unix is at the other end: both OS/2 and NT
cluster far above DOS/Win9x but below unix in both potential security
and in simplicity. They may not be twins under the skin, and sure are
not kissing cousins, but are somehow closely related.
