I don’t think of message and brand control, which I what I wrote about, as an issue of openness. What I commented on was a corporate culture, like many others, that makes selling the giving up of control as difficult. There is a difference because a company can still be open and tightly manage their messaging. I think that as a company SAP has been remarkably open about our strategy, I would point to the fact that we publish our product roadmaps as a great example, and we also publicly commit to supporting interfaces that partners develop and certify through successive product releases.

Finally, I have high expectations for everything I am involved with, I admit it.
