So for the most part, no hobbyists are running DS15?s? I?m sort of surprised that
there?s that many still in critical production roles. Where?s all the VAR guys trying to
help people migrate? Haha.
A better question might be, how many DS15?s were produced compared to something like the
AlphaStation 200 4/233.
I?d love a DS15, but if they are far from cheap.
A lot of the VAR?s are trying to get folks to migrate to Emulated Alpha?s from what I?m
seeing. My guess is that anyone that was going to convert to Itanium did, and many of
those are now looking towards porting to Xeon. Personally I?m skipping Itanium, but will
be looking to move to Xeon at some point. I rather like the idea of running OpenVMS on an
HP DL360 or DL380.
