People don't have to worry about either Microsoft or Oracle going
bust in a few years.

They do have to worry about if they go with this small non-mainstream
company called VSI, will they lose their job in a couple of years if
VSI goes bust and their VMS systems stop working ?

Human factors, Kerry, human factors.

Many of the people making the final decisions in customer companies
are not emotionally invested in VMS, and they are going to go with
the option which is safer for their company (and for their pension).

It's VSI's job to make themselves appear to be the safer option and
they don't appear to be doing a very good job of it.
