Probably not many today. But it will increase!
If we divide current VMS customers in 4 categories:
A) has moved to VMS x86-64
B) want to move to VMS x86-64 and has started test/development
C) want to move to VMS x86-64 but has not started test/development yet
(waiting for VMS Basic, waiting for Rdb, waiting for funding,
waiting for resources to free up from other projects etc.)
D) will never move to VMS x86-64
Right now category A is tiny as in zero or almost zero.
But over the coming years customers will move B -> A and C -> B -> A.
My expectation regarding category D would be:
* VMS VAX customers - almost everybody are frozen aka in D
* VMS Alpha customers - some are frozen aka in D, some just didn`t like
Itanium and will migrate to VMS x86-64
* VMS Itanium - most will migrate to VMS x86-64
