That's a very, very, short-sighted view David.

Operating systems exist to run applications. Without those applications,
the operating system means nothing.

DEC understood this, which is why you used to have the old Software handbooks.

It is very strongly in VSI's interest to help vendors port their applications
to x86-64 VMS.

Unfortunately, VSI's limited resources means they can't help as many
people as it would be beneficial to help. However, if there's a big
vendor that VSI don't know about, it's important to get VSI talking
to them and for VSI to help persuade the vendor to port to x86-64 VMS.

Simon.
