I think the answer is yes. Oracle employee Norman Lastovica gave a
passionate little side lecture on OpenVMS tuning that left me with the
impression that some Oracle employees might know more about OpenVMS
than many HP employees. ( this impression is probably biased since I
hear very little about OpenVMS from HP employees (other than Gaitan
D’Antoni ))
