The fact is, Sun's "open systems" policy is a sham, a scam, and a swindle.
When you compare Sun to Mips -- which doesn't make 1/10th as much fuss
about "open systems" and is one hell of a lot more open about things like
the kernel and the hardware -- you quickly realize this.
I'm indebted to my frequent partner in crime and fellow Sun victim, Geoff
Collyer, for summing it up nicely:
"`Open systems' means they want your wallet to open."
