"Ric Lewis at HP sent out a letter basically saying VMS is dead.
Support up through 2020, but 2016 is the last sale of VMS-
supported hardware."
When they bought Compaq, they would only commit to support through
2020, the rumor at the time was that this is the date required by
Government contracts.
As far as I'm concerned VMS died when they fired the developers and
moved support to India.
