DEC did a whole lot of work on DCE.

OpenVMS itself never particularly incorporated DCE within, but DCE was 
what DEC was both pushing internally and externally back at the time.

Microsoft picked up DCE and ran with it, via the related COM/DCOM/OLE 
stuff, and all of what was built upon that.

But I'd expect the usage of the OpenVMS registry system services is 
approximately zilch, too.
