Pet Open Systems Peeve: Marketing people use the word open but 
the end user, the distributor, the reseller, or the systems integrator 
can tell you what open means and that is good enough. Open is 
not a marketing name; it means that it provides you with the 
price/performance, the benefits from choice, and the flexibility 
that you need. If it does, then for you it's open, whether it's 
called open or not."
