Since HP merged with Compaq in 2002, the OpenVMS business has been growing world wide by 10-12% per year. Since we are talking about an annual gross amount in excess of 4 billion dollars, these numbers are not something to be ignored. (Observation: the biggest demand for OpenVMS technology is currently coming from Europe. I find this strange since Europe is the birthplace of LINUX). • Prove to me that OpenVMS is not dying. In 2005, Oracle released “Oracle 10g For OpenVMS on Alpha”. Oracle Corporation has never been known to waste money on foolish ventures. On top of that, they still make a ton of money developing and supporting Oracle-RDB on VAX, Alpha, and Itanium.
