The conversation got around to Digital's demise and he commented that the big reason was that Digital never embraced Unix.  So, even now there's at least one sales person (I suspect there are hundreds more) that is still under the impression that Unix was the future and OpenVMS was a dead horse.

And what's wrong with that?
Apart from that DEC indeed embraced Unix, just not consistently enough.
First with Ultrix, later with DEC Unix, which sold more Alphas
than VMS.
Or maybe he meant they should have promoted the Alpha with Unix
rather than NT?
