==Importance and influence==

DEC had a huge influence on the modern computer industry.  The PDP-11 and VAX systems were much admired and inspired some [[CPU]]s that followed. Unix (the predecessor of [[Linux]]) and the C programming language were both developed on PDP-11 systems.  This is doubtless due to the fact that PDP-11s and VAXes were common in university settings.  The VT100 [[Terminals|terminal]] set the base standard for smart terminals, and the VMS [[Operating system]] (now OpenVMS) running on the VAX and AXP computers was also very popular.  The 8-bit CP/M operating system was inspired by the pdp/8's OS/8 and PDP-11's RT-11 operating systems.  In turn, MSDOS was based on 86DOS, which was based on CP/M, and Microsoft Windows was originally based on MSDOS.  Further, ACLs (Access Control Lists) were a feature of VMS that was later incorporated into Windows.
