Hmmmm...  My first DEC Workstation was a DECStation (MIPS based) and
it ran only Ultrix, no VMS that I was ever aware of.  Next came the
VAXStation3100.  I got a pile of them.  Run Ultrix just fine. Perform
marginally with VMS.  I have heard the "Desktop to datacenter" mantra
but did they really take that seriously?
