HP has released a roadmap outlining future development of OpenVMS, the operating system that commercialized many features that are now considered standard requirements for any high-end server operating system. (Such as Integrated networking, Symmetrical, asymmetrical, and NUMA multiprocessing, including clustering, distributed file system (Files-11),
Integrated database features, support for multiple computer programming languages, hardware partitioning of multiprocessors, etc). With over 30 years of development, OpenVMS has stood the test of time and has continued to evolve as one of the most secure and trusted mission critical OS's of our time.

It was a fine platform for developing. Excellent, optimizing compilers, easy to build projects (MMS, CMS), easy to create and link to shared images without fuss...
I learned all the tricks of the trade on VMS. Apparently it IS standing up to the test of time. If HP is bothering to maintain it then it must still be making them a lot of money.
