Why? ? Because most of us here depend on using VMS to make our living.   D Ah ha you say...so why slag HP's [non] advertising/marketing of VMS?  I Because not all of us work for organizations where VMS use is so embedded K that its unthinkable that VMS would be tossed prior to our retirement. That G some of us ISV's and consultants need to have a large, growing, diverse J installed base of VMS-using organizations as customers; that not all of usJ are eligible to even talk to organizations where 'top secret' clearance isG required - much less sell them anything or work as consultants for them I (which further narrows the 'active' customer base); that despite our vast H knowledge and experience many of us would be painted as 'untrainable' orG 'fossils' when looking for other work if VMS were to disappear from our - employers; and probably 28 other reasons too.   D I don't know about you but I only have so many hours in each day forJ working, and I like to make progress in each of those hours. I find that II make better progress by-and-large when my apps are running on VMS or when H the consulting work we do is for customers who use VMS. It makes us look  like a better value proposition.  L The ecosystem that springs up around any product eveolves a certain cachet -E if you are an aftermarket auto parts manufacturer and you make a high H quality part but only for Yugo's, the perception of your company will beC different than if your company made parts only for BMW's. This is a E symbiotic thing - both the car manufacturer and the aftermarket parts L manufacturer benefit. Each time the car manufacturer advertises and each timK e the parts manufacturer advertises/sets up a booth at a trade show, etc... & the marketing rubs off on one another.  I With HP and VMS it's all a one way street - the ISV's who are shouldering  all the burden.     $ >And you can't say VMS was not givenF >good visibility in the chat. In fact, it had top billing, aside >from+ the Integrity servers themselves, of course   F Of course VMS had good visibility in the chat - a crowd of VMS people,K probably mostly participants in c.o.v. dominated the chats. If you had read K Livermore's scripted presentation transcript (see below) you would not have L seen VMS mentioned once. So unless you participated in the chat - which mostI customer executives who tuned into the webcast would *not* have done, all 4 you'd have heard from Ann was HP-UX this and Itanic.    	 Ann said: I ""Thank you, Carly. I'd like to take just a few minutes to tell you about  the L momentum Integrity servers have generated in the marketplace. And then, I'll8 explain two important announcements we are making today.  J First, let's look at momentum. At HP, we designed our Integrity servers toH be the trusted platform for your most demanding workloads. The IntegrityK family ranges from 2-way servers at the low end to powerful 128-way servers ? at the high end. We also developed sophisticated management and L virtualization solutions that make HP Integrity servers easier to manage and that reduce operating costs.  K And development is on-going with key technology partners, such as Intel and L Microsoft. Customers have heard us and have embraced our Integrity line. OneE reason is that over 3,000 applications run on Integrity servers. This K includes key applications from BEA Systems, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, SAS and I many others. Among customers with SAP environments, Integrity servers are I especially popular. In 180 days, 180 customers chose Integrity servers as K the foundation for their SAP solution. Plus, the largest single instance of  SAP runs on Integrity.  G Now we are building on this momentum with two announcements. First, our E entire Integrity product line now incorporates Intel's newly enhanced L Itanium 2 9M processor. As a result, these new HP Integrity systems deliver> up to 25% better performance compared with their predecessors.  H More than just numbers from a lab, HP Integrity servers produce businessH results. For example, HP and Oracle outperform IBM DB2 on important dataE warehousing benchmarks like TPC-H. These types of superior benchmarks D continue across diverse workloads.across multiple servers.and across multiple operating systems.   K The Integrity family's performance enables it to handle your most demanding J workloads... including Enterprise Resource Planning ... Online TransactionF Processing ... Business Intelligence... and High Performance TechnicalB Computing. All of which help to produce success for HP customers."  K "The 64-bit Itanium architecture running HP-UX enables us to run simulation L models 20-30 times faster than we could before. This means that a simulationJ that would have taken 5 days to do before, we can now do in a single day."- Martin Allen, IS National Coordinator, Airbus   K "We were able to cut our processing time by one half, from 8 hours a day to J 4 hours a day. Now we are able to capture business processing on a 24-hourG clock, and we were able to make changes in our business operating hours J primarily because we transitioned to the Integrity server." Jim Ratchford,9 Director IT Infrastructure, Boeing Employees'Credit Union   E "From a performance perspective we have received at least a five-fold ; increase in speed, and we even believe that will increase." ' Tim Eitel, CIO, Raymond James Financial   J Ann Livermore cont' - "Of course this improved productivity only counts if@ it is matched with excellent uptime and innovative partnership."  B "The reason we chose the HP Itanium 2-based product is multiple...4 flexibility... scalability... power... reliability."' Tim Eitel, CIO, Raymond James Financial   D "This partnership with HP is offering us the possibility to show ourE customers that we are innovating not only just in the hardware of our L product, that is the car, but also in terms of service and in terms of clear information to them." 6 Claudio San Pedro, Vice President, Business Unit, Fiat  @ Ann Livermore cont' - "And the list continues to grow every day.  G Carly also talked about agility. . . about how it is the new imperative I since you must now deploy services faster...create new revenue streams... @ and respond in a fast-moving, intensely competitive marketplace.  B Today's second announcement addresses these needs with significantH enhancements to the HP Virtual Server Environment. This multi-OS VirtualE Server Environment consists of a pool of dynamically sizeable virtual C servers ... each of which can grow or shrink based on service level  objectives and business needs.  L From a business point of view, the unique integration of virtualization withE high availability and utility pricing delivers powerful benefits. For J instance, you can double your resource utilization ... maintain continuousJ service levels in the event of unexpected downtime ...and pay only for the computing you actually use.   L So far you've heard how HP Integrity servers are the trusted choice for yourG most demanding workloads.and how Integrity servers deliver breakthrough I value within and beyond the system. Now Rich Marcello will explain how we D are expanding the list of operating systems you can run on IntegrityK servers....and how we are also expanding the solutions ecosystem around our  Integrity servers."    ------------------------------    Date: 24 Jan 2005 06:09:22 -0800 From: chris.moler@gmail.com D Subject: Re: Pathworks 6.0C Windows 2003k AD Domain, making it work.C Message-ID: <1106575761.972426.217100@c13g2000cwb.googlegroups.com>   G Mike, We actually had to modify the following keys in addition to those D you mentioned to get the trust to work properly.
