OPENVMS SUCCESFULLY BOOTED ON ITANIUM!
The test which was passed was to boot OpenVMS, log in, and produce a directory
listing. This confirms that many key system routines and drivers are working
as they should, but of course there's still a lot of work to be done.
The official announcement reads as follows:

Subject: VMS boots on Itanium
We are please to announce that OpenVMS has booted on an HP i2000 Itanium
system. By successfully executing a DIRECTORY command the official date and
time for the Boot Contest is January 31, 2003 3:31 PM EST.
Many, many people have contributed to this effort, including managers,
supervisors,
project leaders, consultants, development infrastructure group, calling standard
committee, engineers working on post-boot projects, etc. All will receive their
well-deserved credit as we proceed. The following is a very specific set of
people; these are the engineers who designed/wrote/debugged the code that
comprises the running operating system.
There were many people involved in this effort; a list appears at the end of
this message.
Ken Farmer's excellent OpenVMS.org site has some screen pictures (literally,
photographs of the screen) showing the boot process and command output --
