And toward different parts of the computing market from where x86-64 is 
common, there's IBM Z...

> How can VMS become market disruptive I wonder?

By delivering the x86-64 port and getting it into production in the 
installed base, by further solidifying and starting to grow the 
installed base, by acquiring stable and increasing revenues, and then 
really starting to ponder that question you've asked in more detail; on 
what can attract partners and apps newly developmed and from Linux, 
Windows Server and other platforms.   It'll take a while to get to the 
scale where operating system development teams increasingly operate at, 
after all.  That takes thought and time and revenues and staff.   For 
OpenVMS right now?  It's all about the base.
