  Mixed operating systems in OpenVMS Galaxy? 
 The Question is:
 
I heard that future OpenVMS Galaxy Instances might support mixed OS instances
 other than OpenVMS. For example one OpenVMS Galaxy running one instance of
 OpenVMS, one instance of True64 UNIX, and possibly one instance of Linux, or
 other combinations concur
rently. Is there any truth to this rumor?
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Not rumor.  Fact.  Available now.  See the OpenVMS Galaxy webpages.
 
  Note that this statement does differentiate hard partitions -- which
  permit multiple operating systems within the same enclosure -- from
  OpenVMS Galaxy instances (soft partitions).
 
  Though an OpenVMS instance has been demonstrated cooperating with a
  version of Linux within the same OpenVMS Galaxy (APMP) environment
  and swapping processors, this capability is not presently supported.
 
  The capability to operate multiple operating systems in hard partitions
  is supported and is available.
