Clair, Camiel - congrats to everyone involved in getting OpenVMS to this important milestone.
When I think back to the old DEC notefiles (VMSnotes anyone?) and all the many discussions about OpenVMS futures, the move to X86-64 was always one of the top wish list items.
Now, it is one huge step closer to reality.
😊
