Doesn't say much for the OS, I'm afraid.  :p

I first accessed the Internet on a VAX running VMS.  People who disrespect VMS usually just never took time to learn much about it.  It's a cool OS.

I'm afraid you missed my point.  I meant to deride the policies, not the OS.  :D

I wasn't replying to your post actually, just making a general statement :)  VMS holds a special place in my heart.

Despite the name, it's not open source at all.  It's owned by HP and they don't do much with it anymore.  (read: They're trying to kill it.)


They should open source it and let it grow.
