Duke, Re: "Compaq boots VMS on Itanic" Glad to see more software being successfully ported to Itanium. It won't shut up the hardcore critics, but it's a nice, warm fuzzy for the rest of us. wbmw

Duke - Re:"THE PORT OF VMS to the Itanium platform is moving quickly" At the same time Compaq is spending no time on a VMS port to the Hamster. The only work on a Hamster OS is proceeding... strange, there is no work being done on a Hamster OS.

Duke, good progress reported in that article re Compaq porting VMS to Itanium. Maybe, like MVS that never dies (IBM mainframes) VMS will never die either. After the merger, Compaq will work with HP to produce a converged version - known in the trade as Itanium Unix, and that will feature embedded clustering technology he said. 4-way Itanium (McKinley, Madison) clusters running VMS, or Linux, or Microsoft W2K Advanced Server will fit in very nicely as a next step upward migration for those clusters we posted about yesterday that Etrade and Oracle were running on 32 bit Intel servers.
