[lots of stuff]

This is where the argument gets hijacked, or at least our paths diverge. I
am not asking for VMS on the desktop, or even another bollocks browser
implemention. (God knows we've got enough of them :-( ) I am also not asking
VMS to perform the best come-back since Lazarus and compete with give-away
Linux. All of this, I guess, because I have never seen the OS wars as an
either/or proposition. VMS has a place and I maintain a very profitable
place in the OS market and with cloud-computing gaining traction then a
reliable, disaster-tolerant OS may be just what some are after? It's a broad
church and all very multi-cultural out there.

The problem is that customers have been unable to easily integrate VMS into
their mainstream infrastructure and data centres. As I have said before, the
answer lies in integrate , Intgrate, INTERGRATE and not emulate, Emulate,
EMULATE! Stop being ashamed of VMS's strengths and stop trying to quack like
a penguin. (But most importanly, get rid of the filth at HP/VMS that refuse
to act on anything unless they can personally profit from it!)

Regards Richard Maher

BTW (in line with the topic) Happy New Year and I hope everyone had a great
Christmas! There's plenty of life left in VMS yet and let's hope the ghost
of Christmas future paid a visit to VMS middlemanagement this year.
