Are there any statistics on the rate at which customers abandoned VMS
over the last couple of decades? It was clear by about 2007 that Itanium
was not going to conquer the world. Since HP were sticking with it, and
Alpha was out of production, that was the point at which a long-term
hardware problem for VMS would have been visible to the far-sighted.
