Anyway..

V+1 =W
M+1 =N
S+1 = T


All MS had to do is think of what 'NT' could stand for
so they figured "New Technology" would be appropiate
makeing it Windows N T..

Did that make sense?
Close.... they copied IBM which was named after HAL (ahh the good ole days!) so being the self indulgent dickheads they are they copied that idea and did MS + 1 = NT
