Powerhouse 7.10/8.30 VMS upgrade (survey results - sort of)

[Witkopp, Richard]

It can't be that much of a snap - they've been working

I can't see where the microcode of the Itanium (which is
supposed to have a migration path from x86) would be much
like the Alpha (which has a migration path from VAX).
