The "Open" in OpenVMS means "Open Standards", not open source. That is also what is meant in Open Systems which most/all UNIX system are categorized as (OpenVMS is not UNIX though). It is a word not found in Microsoft's vocabulary which is one of the primary reasons they are a monopoly today.

ravuya:
VMS is pretty neat IMO but I don't think it runs on x86.

choasforages:
did he say it had to run on exeateshit?
go by a dec alpha and a hobbyist license, or pick up a machine with a full license on ebay that your supposed to delete/*but don't*/
