In its initial concept, OpenVMS (then VAX/VMS) sought to provide the functionality and capabilities of a mainframe-class system at a small fraction of the size and cost, while at the same time providing higher levels of reliability and integrity. These goals were achieved by what has become OpenVMS' hallmark, an
emphasis on integrity and architectural leverage. Note: This is an entry to our OS Contest.

Thanks for the article, which I found very informative and interesting. I've been hearing about this OS for so many years, and yet have not really known an awful lot about its history or design philosophy until now.
I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the "Alternative OS" series of articles.
