A number of folks today run OpenVMS VAX under a VAX emulator or OpenVMS 
Alpha under an Alpha emulator, running on top of an x86 platform.

I read this question as: Would you be willing to run the Itanium version 
of OpenVMS under an Itanium emulator (using a hypothetical example of HP 
VM ported to x86) on top of an x86 platform, and do so for your 
Production work?
