Part of my day job is maintaining our home-grown data processing system on an old VMS (Itanium) cluster. We've been trying to get rid of it for close to 7 years now but don't seem much closer than when we started. For things that OpenVMS is good at, it is REALLY good at. Everything else... is pretty antiquated.
