first shipped commercial product was multics (1976) http://www.mcjones.org/System_R/mrds.html

also some of the "independent" product lines ... have some individual people in common.

other trivia ... some number of CTSS people went to science center on the 545 tech sq, 4th floor and did virtual machines (cp67, vm370, etc) and others went to the 5th flr and did multics (& mrds).

System R was done in bldg. 28 on 370/145 vm370 system ... when there was some rivalry between people on 4th flr and 5th flr.
