According to Wikipedia, Kubrick and Clarke deny that the HAL - IBM shift was more than a coincidence. We can call it artistic genius coming from the depths of their subconscious, if we like.Be that as it may, I do not believe that the WNT - VMS shift was a coincidence. I didn't hear it directly from Dave Cutler, but I did hear it from people he had worked with while he was at DEC.
