OpenVMS x86_64 at the Edge

I’ve heard VMS has legendary reliability, but is there any reason to build new stuff on it in 2024? Surely Linux would be a better choice since it’s free of cost and you can do whatever you want without being locked in to a single vendor (VSI)

From the linked forum thread, 18 months later (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.vmssoftware.com&#x2F;viewtopic.php?t=183#p17812" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.vmssoftware.com&#x2F;viewtopic.php?t=183#p17812</a>):<p>&gt; The Atom project as shown in the YouTube video is not a VMS Software Inc. product. As Andrew pointed out using OpenVMS on Atom or similar devices is different from Linux which is obtained freely. VMS Software is not further promoting the Atom project now or into the future. VMS Software is concentrating on OpenVMS in virtual environments, not on hardware devices.
