Hello Friends:

"And vms customers get to keep their openvms, as it will be ported to
ia-64 as previously announced."

I've been through five outside analysis articles and three Web sites,
including HP's, this morning. I visited OpenVMS.org and Shannon Knows
[Compaq/HPC]. I didn't spot this OpenVMS announcement. Maybe Duane
can share the source of his confirmation of this information?

OpenVMS is important to a 3000 customer reading tea leaves about
their future with HP. CSY tells us that proprietary operating
environments -- I bet VMS qualifies as one of those -- are declining
in popularity. Watching what HP does with VMS should confirm that CSY
viewpoint about non-standard technologies, right?

Or is it an HP viewpoint about the non-standard technologies which HP
hasn't been able to sell lately?
