Yeah, the guy who wrote OpenVMS also wrote Windows 2000, so they're the same
thing so use Windows 2000 on your VAX 9000, hehehe.
Actually you could ask questions on DECWindows, insist it's "Just like
Windows 98 but it doesn't crash as much"
Possible "Windows" substitutes:
-DECWindows
-Macintosh System X (Pick an old one, like version 4)
-GEM (Atari Power!)
-Amiga Workbench (Tell them you've got it on your G3)
-GEOS (On your Commodore 64 with a CMD hard drive)
-IRIX
-SunOS (NOT Solaris, SunOS, preferably on a Sun 3, with X11R4)
-OpenLook
-The best: Linux or *bsd with fvwm95 (My friend says it looks just like
Windows!)
