As you know it doesn't really work like that, if HP becomes the only
Itanium vendor and you cannot rule this possibility out then you do
really have something to worry about.
Remember Alpha is never going to get revived.
EV8 is not a processor its just a set of slides and some nice white
papers and you cannot run anything on that.
Sun/IBM/The tooth Fairy are not going to buy OpenVMS and port it to
anything.
HP are highly unlikely to port it to x86.
It doesn't matter home many CERT counts OpenVMS has or hasn't or how
many didn't get posted.
The only thing that matters is that OpenVMS needs IA-64 to suceed and
make HP and Intel very happy.
