Oh, by the way, a few more examples:
Windows, rewritten from win32 to NT.
MacOS, rewritten from classic to OSX.
Linux, every bit of open source code you use, including the kernel and
the shell, rewritten from scratch in spite of source code for various
unixes being available. This *is* the linux programming study group
list, isn't it? And you didn't think that Linux was rewritten from
scratch? :-)
