Eric, Clayton deals with the issue of developing proprietary architecture before standardization (which makes it proprietary "closed" at that juncture),... Using Moore's definitions of "closed" and "open" architectures, that's not true. It's the marketplace and/or the standards committees that determine "standardization." The issue of whether or not an architecture is open or closed has to do with whether or not the tools that allow other companies' products "connect" with it are available at no cost. Open architectures are generally made so long before they get to the chasm. Sorry, but I'm completely missing your point. --Mike Buckley
