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.

There's FreeVMS, available at:

And if you run Windows, some might argue that you're running a logical descendant of it:

Sbergman,

Which is why I posted the archive.org link to Mark Russinovich's article that compares the internals . He's the one Windows expert that could write that article and make the argument as convincing as he did.

His current employer would probably not allow such commentary.

Ronald, if you are going to troll, at least try to make it less obvious.

And I believe that this article is about OpenVMS?

I would say it's too bad MS own hack programmers fscked up the good foundation Cutler's team created.
