VMS turns 30 today.

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/30th/index.html

October 25, 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of VMS v1.0, the first version of the HP OpenVMS operating system. Three decades and three hardware platforms later, OpenVMS is better than ever, and ready to take on the future. In fact, we are preparing the next release of OpenVMS right now, with an expected ship date of November 2007.

In the years since the release of VMS v1.0, OpenVMS has been the power behind some of the most critical applications around the world, including:

Processing trillions of dollars of financial transactions
Sending more than two-thirds of the world's text messages
Keeping railroads safe and running on time
Distributing power
Keeping hospitals and their clinical systems up and running

Coordinating government and defense operations
Controlling the manufacture of over 90 percent of the world's microprocessors
...and much, much more
