If HP seriously expects to keep VMS going, they should

For the market it's generally aimed at, IA64 is a great
architecture now that the compilers have matured somewhat.
Poulson looks quite competitive, actually. If they want
more *mainstream* acceptance, AMD64 isn't a bad choice,
but it doesn't look like that's where they want to go
(and indeed, not where they make most of their money on
VMS or HP-UX).
