[Info-vax] Next release of OpenVMS x86

[David Turner]

Of course people are forgetting that most people that run OpenVMS are 
retiring or, god forbid, buried.

I talk to many people who have never heard of OpenVMS
Then, even if they have heard of it, they know nothing about it.
Above and beyond that, they would need quite a few years of experience 
as a system manager to have an in-depth knowledge, then go off sideways 
to become a hacker. Then they would have to scour the OS for any 
possible flaws or vulernabilities.

THEREFORE, OPENVMS IS A VERY SECURE OS .

I THINK YOU GUYS GIVE HACKERS WAY TOO MUCH CREDIT
