I don't think it would be possible for the source comments to be the same,
because Mica was written in a language developed by Dave.  This language
resembled Algol, and he was very proud of it.  Bill G. and Steve B. mandated
that NT be written in C.  It would probably have been a much more robust
operating system had they chosen Ada
