As a past VMS user (20 years ago on large VAXen) I agree it would be a cool blast from the past to see it working on Windows/Linux hardware.
Maybe the first port could be a virtual one under Linux.

Once VMS is ported to x86, if that should happen, then you could run it as a virtual guest or on the bare metal x86 platform.
But it needs to be ported to x86 first.
I’m not sure that VMS can be developed under Linux, because of the GPL (GNU General Public License). I did my modelling and development using MicroSoft Visual Studio.

VAXen are OK w/me.
