   But Gartner's in this report does not say "OpenVMS is dead".  They
   recognise ISV support for VMS on Itanium has come on faster than
   they predicted.  They discuss moving away from VMS in a similar
   manner to the way they discuss staying on VMS, as options that
   depend to a large degree on the user's needs (do you need ISV
   support from a product that is or is not being ported to Itanium?).
