I think this may be the source of your disagreement with me. I am not talking
about VMS 8.4 running on a Alpha Rack. The statement that they took offense to was that
was about VMS version 5. I have no problem with VMS. I like VMS. I have had many many VAX
boxes over the years. VMS 5 is ancient by OS standards. It probably has a mess of
vulnerabilities people just never bother to test against it. Its like saying Solaris 2.1
is as secure as Solaris 10 out of the box.
Ok. On that we can agree. I'm sorry for the intensity of my flamage. There's
a lot going on here lately and I'm in more of a "knee-jerk reaction" state
of mind than usual.
