Yup, I sat through a Sybase presentation a couple of weeks ago
They showed the breakdown of revenues by platform. The list
they showed was.

Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Tru64, NT and Other. Other accounted
for ~3% and included SCO, SNI, NCR, OpenVMS etc. They
didn't break down the Other but OpenVMS is competing with
those vendors fo ~3% of the total Sybase RDBMS revenues
so lets say >1%.
