Has anyone at the VA considered running VistA atop GT.M which in turn sits atop Linux, an open source stack of apps if you will?  Otherwise it appears the VA will be held hostage by two vendors- Intersystems and their Cache product and HP and their OpenVMS product.

I would say none. We avoid vendor extensions and we have very strict and

the M standard.

This brings up the interesting question of how much future VA work on
VISTA will use Cache specific features?
