VMS
Virtual Memory System
From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) : [ jargon ]
VMS /V-M-S/ n. DEC's proprietary operating system for its VAX
minicomputer; one of the seven or so environments that loom largest in
hacker folklore. Many Unix fans generously concede that VMS would
probably be the hacker's favorite commercial OS if Unix didn't exist;
though true, this makes VMS fans furious. One major hacker gripe with
VMS concerns its slowness -- thus the following limerick:
There once was a system called VMS
Of cycles by no means abstemious.
It's chock-full of hacks
And runs on a VAX
And makes my poor stomach all squeamious.
--- The Great Quux
