Visual Studio Magazine Online: The End of the Language Wars by Rockford Lhotka
March 23, 2008 by roland.
I stole this from www.openvms.org. It was important enough that it should exist in more than one place.

While praising the language neutrality of the OpenVMS OS architecture, Lhotka adjudicates over the OS Wars stating, “There can be no doubt that Digital’s OpenVMS was the best operating system ever invented.”
You will find Lhotka’s original article here…

Keith Cayemberg comments on the article:
What makes Lhotka’s statement significant, is that he is a widely known author and columnist who currently makes his living as an expert in Microsoft-centric programming technologies. He has demonstrably no current professional reason to be biased toward OpenVMS, other than a logically and/or empirically-based conviction of OpenVMS’ architectural merits.

Googling, his personal web site above, for OpenVMS, shows he was once employed as a developer on OpenVMS, and also that the statement in his article was indeed out of conviction, and not just an attempt to be provocative or funny.
