[Simh] VMS Hobbyist Licenses

[Robert Thomas]

The potential real revenue stream from VAX users with hobbyist licenses is
small, but HPE should be able to put a significant dollar value on the Good
Will generated by issuing perpetual licenses.

 

Historically the sales and marketing people at DEC, COMPAQ, HP and HPE have
placed no value on customer loyalty and good will.  Too many of their
marketing decisions have been short sighted killing the cash cow that users
created using the various flavors of RSX on PDP-11's and VMS on VAXen, AXP
and Itanium.

 

Sincerely,

Robert F. Thomas
