COMPAQ, or HP as it is better known these days, has told its customers it has released OpenVMS Version 8.1 for "Integrity" servers - they use Intel's Itanium 2.

The software release is aimed at software vendors who wish to be early adopters and start porting their apps ready for production quality machines and software.

The software includes native compilers, while Oracle, CA, BEA, BMC and others are rushing to port their products to the OpenVMS "Integrity" platform.

It's quite an achievement for Compaq, shifting VMS from the Alpha platform to HP's so-called "cellular" architecture.

We wonder if VMS is running on SuperDOME yet?

We've every reason to suspect it is. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
