I'd be curious how many of those derive from NT's VMS roots - for instance:

Most of them, as far as I know.

  • AFAIK WinNT consolidated a lot of ideas from VMS into more coherent constructs, pity that not all of them are exposed to developers (There is, for example, the option of using kernel upcalls in VMS style i.e. ASTs, but it's completely "private" API)
