 | | Although it is widely believed that the market for OpenVMS on IA32 would be small and economically impractical, the truth is that given the desire of the market for a secure, reliable operating platform, the actual market for OpenVMS on IA32 is likely to be much larger than anyone currently is inclined to believe. |
 | | Given the size of the IA32 market, and the fact that IA32's market continues to grow, even today - on the threshold of ubiquitous 64-bit computing, even a miniscule share of that market is enough to justify the expense of doing the port. |
 | | Where the earlier efforts at an IA32 port were perhaps less successful than desired, renewed efforts would likely overcome much of the difficulty experienced then. |
