When you talk about DEC sites, are you talking about OpenVMS VAX? Because Digital produces DEC OSF/1, which is UNIX. So, DEC doesn't mean VAX anymore.
But to answer your question, sales of and migration to OpenVMS Alpha is going very well for Digital right now. OpenVMS Alpha's future is bright. Oracle is keeping up-to-date its database releases on OpenVMS Alpha.
