It stands for Very Mighty System. It is the best operating system that I've ever seen. VMS help was far better and far more use friendly then Unix man pages. Monitor was state of the art, and you can't get anything even remotely like it on Unix, not even if you pay. Files-11 had clustering capabilities since VMS 4.2, which was very , very long time ago. DEC has always been a company with great engineering and apalling sales force, that's why they ended up as a part of a nice printer company, as Mr. Scott McNeally has put it. VMS is still unbeaten as an operating system. Particularly good was EVE (not the woman who used to talk to reptiles and didn't know how to make an apple pie, but the Extended VAX Editor).
