   "OpenVMS is an excellent OS with good uptime and rich functionality.
    Even today, it is debatable whether the best of Unix can offer the 
    same levels of capability as legacy operating systems such as OpenVMS 
    or IBM's i5OS ("i" OS)."

  Doesn't sound that negative to me.  Some folks here will insist that
  Gartner is wrong about UNIX not being up to snuff compared to VMS.
