RE: Issue 1. [Re: [ros-general] ROS-User-Issues]

[Kevin Lawton]

I sometimes wonder if even Microsoft know what NT means. 
Look at the Windows 2000 splash screen - 'based on NT technology'. 
Translate the 'NT' into 'New Technology' and we get 'based on new
technology technology'. 
Not very confidence inspiring, Microsoft. 
Kevin.
