OK. Found it. No big deal, we're on Alpha... :-)

I have one comment to page 20 of that presentation :

Possible future directions for OpenVMS customers:
1. Port to proprietary OpenVMS on x86, if a port were done
2. Back port from Itanium to Alpha emulator on PC hardware
3. Stay on Itanium
4. Move to Itanium emulator on PC hardware, if developed
5. Port to Linux
6. Port to Windows
7. Port to an open source OpenVMS compatible OS, if developed

At least for us, there is another option that I think
is the most likely:

8. Scrap the VMS apps all together and use something else.

But this will probably not happen this year. Or in 2014. Or 2015.
