I didn't know that OpenVMS could run on Intel Itaniums, but
it sounds way cool.

What's next, Mac under z/VM? :-)

Holy (!&^#) Batman!!!!!!
Would you believe I have been moving some of my personal
clients (not my day job :) onto OpenVMS on Itaniums
because:
(1) The clients are purely disgusted with the iSeries
world. The thing is now named "i" - no series! Try to
explain that to a
an irritated customer!
(2) The clients don't have budgets big enough to move to
an zSeries solution, especially since PSI and Flex seem
dead,
and IBM is taking its sweet time about coming out
with an affordable small system (ala MP3Ks...)
(3) HP has a great developer program
(4) I an put them on an Itanium, with software, for
under $10K. Under $3K if they are okay with used
hardware. Alphas are even less, but are *all* used
hardware. Wow...
Yeah, I'm interested. :)

Latest interesting step: I’ve gotten a partial boot of
OpenVMS in a virtual machine on System z. Some
instruction emulation still needs work (the Alpha POP
is a little unclear in a few areas), but we have
system services initializing and hardware detection is
fully functional.
*grin* Anybody interested?
