Do you think that CIO's and CTO's and IT managers read the WSJ?
I do.

Do you think HP cares about selling anything to this group other than
BillyBoxes and ink?
Judging by what HP advertises in the WSJ, I don't.

I'd say that Digital/Compaq/HP's policy of issuing only press releases and
not advertising OpenVMS is having the desired results - permitting 'editors'
to edit out any mention of OpenVMS, thereby further marginalizing a
profitable product.
