Intel + OpenVms
Does this means that OpenVms can also be used on other 64 bit mini's or PC's ?

Re: Intel + OpenVms
Uwe is right. OpenVMS will run on the itanium series but this cannot be used on any PC with intel 32 bit CPU.

Re: Intel + OpenVms
May be i mis-interpreted your question :-)
Now to the answer, as of today the plan is that OpenVMS will be made available to be run on itanium based CPU be it desktop or server.
Unfortunately so far there has not been any direction from AMD (as far as i know) on coming out with itanium based CPU.
It means that OpenVMS will be only available to be run on PC/Desktops and Servers that are based on intels itanium architecture

hp have said they will only test VMS on their itanium based systems but won't do anything deliberate to prevent it working on somebody elses itanium based systems. The hp rx1600 is the cheapest new hardware to run VMS that I've seen for years. USA list price around $3000.
The AMD 64 bit cpu is a IA32 architecture ship with some addons - not a 64 bit architecture. Itanium is a completely different beast.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: Intel + OpenVms
[*] I know that there will be a translator/interpreter for Alpha code on IA64.

Re: Intel + OpenVms
If the instruction set is not compatible, then how is Windows going to run on both of them ?

Re: Intel + OpenVms
it won't if the instruction sets do not match.
Did you know that Windows NT used to run on Alpha, IA32, MIPS and POWER? Hey, a first prototype was created on the i960 CPU if I recall correctly.
On some software distributions you can still see different subdirectories for 'x86', ALPHA, MIPS, PPC.
I am not dealing much with Windows, but I bet that Microsoft still creates different CD-ROM sets for different architectures.
