I'v got a private message (and I think it was mentioned in the event
yesterday from France) that at least two custerers in France have said
that they will leave VMS due to Oracle "Classic" leaving VMS.

Note that this now also includes the Oracle client, that was earlier
said to be kept on VMS.

I have not heard anyone leaving VMS due to the lack of a browser.

Has anyone requested a browser? I mean, any paying customer?
