The Register[^]:

VMS Software Inc (VSI) has opened its hobbyist licensing scheme for the x86-64 version of one of the most reliable OSes in the business.

Voluptuous Monster Shoes?

Victorious Missile Silo? Vocational Military School?

Cool. I loved VMS. VMS was the only OS to go to Blackhat and not be breached. The following year the Blackhat organizers changed the rules to allow only x86/64 operating systems.

VMS is the only OS for which I have the complete source code residing on my shelf. On the other hand: I never had a microfiche reader, so I never had a chance to read it. I don't remember who gave it to me, but have a vague memory of this person having obtained a newer version.
