re: Staffing levels.

In fairness, Windows is a very active OS with lots of development,
changes, new appls, new versions of apps and new versions of the OS.
That requires more man power to manage (even if Windows were well designed).

VMS is a stable OS without new application, without many changes, and
generally, a terminal connects to a vMS system to run one application.
Much simpler to administer. Not so much because VMS is better, but
rather because of how VMS is being used.

I think one reason companies stuck with XP is that they are sick adn
tired of having to rebuild their Windows environment from scracth with
every new release of Windows. And as such, XP has allowed companies to
get some stability which results in less manpower requirements.
