Article about the web cast. It is focused on Oracle porting its
ebusiness applications to HP-UX.

And article then has this wonderful sentence:

##
It's not all bad news for Itanium, though. The chip runs not just HP's
version of Unix, called HP-UX, but also Windows, Linux and two
relatively rare HP operating systems, OpenVMS and NonStop Kernel.

Yesterday, I saw an ad for that web cast on Yahoo, so I knew it wouldn't
be about VMS since VMS never gets advertised in mainstream.

Did anyone listen to that web cast ?

(And since Windows will not longer be fully supported on IA64 with only
a limited set of apps, one wonders why Windows should be listed before
the rare operating systems VMS and NSK).


Shouldn't Weendoze be considered the rare operating system? I've always
thought of VMS as the well-done operating system. :)

Actually, "Weendoze" should *BE* the rare operating system!
