The OpenVMS Consultant: Why OpenVMS?

OSNews, Generic OSes "I have been asked 'Why choose OpenVMS?' It is a question worth asking. While the precise answer depends upon the context, the overall answer is: 'OpenVMS provides a robust platform and framework for constructing and operating software.' The benefits of OpenVMS accrue throughout the system lifecycle; not merely during development. Testing, production, enhancement, and other phases of the system lifecycle all benefit. Costs and risks are reduced over the system lifetime."

...but I certainly was a codin' fool back in my VMS days. ;)

Now I'm just a fool who codes, but eh... I get by.

We have systems running it and real vms for decades. My guess would be it is still the most stable OS we have to date.

Sounds intriguing, but the language in the article is sometimes a bit to much like a sales person.

The diversity is good.
