I don't think the balance between compatibility and new things at the 
expense of lack of compatibility is the principal cause of the place VMS 
has got in the market.

The big reasons seem more: structural problem of the business (DEC 
empire falling), deafness to the emergent markets (deskstop, internet), 
failure of itanium.

On the opposite the very good compatibility qualities is one of the 
causes which explain VMS didn't completely die.
