I received the email too and was shocked to see that HP was referring
the reader to a Gartner Report advocating a move away from OpenVMS.
See the section titled "I want to migrate completely away from
OpenVMS" where they include a list of vendors who are willing to
help.

As an aside, two of the vendors (Transoft and Sector 7) call me
monthly to inform me that OpenVMS is dead and that I should consider
buying their porting services

(Maybe JF is correct about HP trying to kill OpenVMS)
