"Ewan, again the definition of open platforms is:\r\nIn computing, an open platform describes a software system which is based on open standards, such as published and fully documented external application programming interfaces (API) that allow using the software to function in other ways than the original programmer intended, without requiring modification of the source code. Using these interfaces, a third party could integrate with the platform to add functionality.\r\n\r\nI know your thoughts about vendors, but with many now publishing API's - they are or soon will be open platforms."
