Appears so. Methinks they're discussing that fun thing to play with,
that runs on VAXen, which has more neat features than UNIX yet never
managed to become as useful as UNIX, but is much better than anything
that Microsoft ever even thought of. ;-)
Is not what the world needs a good VMS/UNIX hybrid OS? All the
benefits of UNIX and VMS would surely drive Microsoft into the
ground... that is, it it weren't for those pesky average consumers
with lots of purchasing power who know mostly nothing about computers
and operating systems who get conned into wanting to purchase Peecees
running Windoze.
