>> "It doesn't stand for anything". Well, we can all speculate.

Seems to me that if it's a product coming from DEC it should stand for:

        Another eXpensive Product...

Along this line of thinking, I can forsee an entire product line...

OpenVMS  Another eXpensive Product...
PathWorks  Another eXpensive Product...
VMScluster  Another eXpensive Product...
DECservice  Another eXpensive Product...  ;-)
