Well, I'd say that you could have a much better (VMS) life, if you
stop dreaming and open your eyes to todays reality.

The future of VMS is in adopting and interoperating with today’s
computing environment at large. Up to date TCPIP support is of course
part of that. Another major part of it is to have the people working
with VMS being open minded and not behaving like children by, as an
example, trying to be funny by misspelling other OS’es names.
That will only kick back against VMS in the view of non-VMS’ers.
