The problem is: did VMS ecosystem survived thanks to "business as

will dye, because of the standard rules of business.
I would say their market is a fraction of what it would have been if they
had been ready with an x86 port say, five years earlier.
Of course.
But also VSI didn't really address the ecosystem as the complex set it is, with totally different needs and paces of evolution.
So they didn't reassure a lot of actors about the way they can wait the moment they will be able to change. "If the only issue is going as soon as possible to x86, because I cannot now, I'll go away".
It is very important VSI realize now how to reassure Alpha or Itanium users (they have extended their support). They would have do it from the beginning.
