Two scenarios for you:
a) Guess what sales would be of Microsoft Windows if Microsoft advertised
Windows once every 2 months in one publication.
b) Now guess what Windows sales are given the amount of advertising that
they actually do in a wide variety of publications and other media.
HP should advertise OpenVMS somewhere between these two scenarios, tending
more towards scenario b).
