[Info-vax] VMS to ntegrity application porting report not updated for 2 years?

Since HP has targetted VMS to the installed based only, and since the
remaining installed base don't buy many new aplications on VMS and
deploy new stuff on other platforms (at least from HP's viewpoint), my
guess is that HP doesn't see much of a priority in updating such pages.

Since HP thinks all that is left of VMS are large customers, it would
conclude that such customers would have relationships with their
existing software vendors and would know if their alpha based
application has been ported to that IA64 thing or not.

Such a page had some marketing interest from HP a few years ago when it
was trying to prop up Itanic by showing growth in number of available
applications. Now, HP doesn't care much about propping up Itanic anymore
so such pages have less importance.

When you have limited resources, there are other areas of higher
priority than updating such a page.
