I've been playing around with VMS on my MicroVAX 3800 lately, and between that and getting into Windows internals I'm just super fascinated by the difference in feel, when it comes to what the system-level APIs provide, of these highly-integrated, enterprise-oriented operating systems versus the *nix family. Particularly how robust things like user identity management are.

Not saying it's better or worse, of course. Just interesting.

I'd really love to play around with something as hyper-integrated as z/OS or something. So if anyone's got an old ES/9000 or something kicking around that they wouldn't mind sending me, let me know.
