There has been a couple of reviews of the bootcamp posted on
openvms.org including mine.

Perhaps people reading this thread would read them to get other views
on the event.

as said, last time I checked was Q2 2007
(but somehow I doubt things have changed much):

http://www.openvms.org/stories.php?s.../05/17/3285093

says ESS is < $5B per quarter,
with BCS (includes VMS) contributing < 20%,
that's $4B per year.
Margin is some 8 or 9%
(not much better than the ink divisions, IIRC).
I think last year theres was a thread here on this topic
(" Question for the Group").
