While I wouldn't disagree that VMS hasn't grown market share in the early 90s, it is doing quite while. In fact, VMS in 3Q99 had pretty substantial growth in Western Europe: Perhaps my information on VMS market acceptance is outdated. In our case we use VMS because of the cost of the cost of switching to a new OS for a cross-development platform and we are finally biting the bullet and moving from VMS to Windows NT. My opinion of VMS as an application development platform has not changed. Regarding your comments about "piece of crap legacy OS" I would take that to mean you don't know a whole lot about OSes. The only OSes that I've written any of are the real-time embedded variety, not general purpose. I've programmed using several and of course had a few university OS courses including a graduate-level course where we spent a semester studying the kernel code of an older version of Unix. I would guess that I know more than the average Joe.
