OpenVMS is more reliable than Unix, and bears a more sophisticated kernel design intended to handle real-world workloads. In particular, unlike every extant Unix except Solaris, async I/O is handled the correct way in OpenVMS (and Windows NT), with real async system calls and completion-based notification.

So Linux is not intended to run real worldloads?

Linux is not Unix (?)

For all the reasons that matter, it is. Same kernel design, same external interfaces, same kind of internal interfaces.
