  I like the fact VMS is still supported.

    Supported by who? SGI's Itanium boxes or HP after acquisition?

      There is an x86 Port effort going on.

        Yeah, it's through an outside company they licensed it to after killing it. That's the good news. The bad news is it was a tough port the other times, not a big market, and who knows what cut they get. I hope the company pulls it off but it's a tall order. Only the start of what needs to be done to get OpenVMS competitive, esp on usability.
