VMS was developed in 1977 and has matured into the most stable and feature
rich operating system available. Both Digital (the developer of VMS), and
Compaq (the current owner of VMS) were/are poor at marketing. None-the-less,
the big players know and trust VMS. It is the small to medium companies that
are kept in the dark by the media.


My thoughts:

If only HP could have had the same vision for MPE where would it be today?

HP is being re-invented by the latest buzz words flying around the corporate
heads.

MPE was/is the BEST O/S ever created.  Could have been better than VMS if
only the blinders had been removed years ago when they first decided to
'kill' the HP3000.  It just took HP 10-15 years to figure out the worst
strategy for the demise of the 3000!

Just goes to show you when you have a goal in mind you can achieve it no
matter how long it takes.

IMO
