Odd that they never correctly interpret the surveys which show their
customers are completely unhappy with that worthless puddle of feces
sold as HP-UX and that it should be discontinued in favor of a product
which actually works.  They use THOSE surveys to justify throwing
money down the development pit for that hunk of trash.

VMS will not be ported because, as HP and Intel both showed the world,
neither was capable of creating a 64-bit processor without committing
a criminal theft of technology from Digital Equipment Corporation.
Since HP is completely in bed with Intel, we will never see 128-bit
VMS..unless AMD finally buys the VMS market from HP and ports
everything.
