| QNX was the first commercial OS to embrace this S/R/R paradigm for 
| encapsulating complexity of software applications. ? ?They did this way back 
| in the very early days of PC's in the early 80's. ? In fact QNX predates 
| Microsoft.

QNX Software Systems was founded in 1980.  Microsoft was founded in
1975.

The S/R/R of QNX was copied from a series of University of Waterloo
experimental operating systems.  The QNX founders were students at
Waterloo.
