I agree with your want. Wholeheartedly. Alas you are right in that this culture is all over Corporate World (yes not just America). Vendor lock-in is something

I agree with your want. Wholeheartedly. Alas you are right in that this culture is all over Corporate World (yes not just America). Vendor lock-in is something that's been with us since forever and I doubt it will ever go away. They might have gotten better at hiding it from obviously being spotted but that's about it and in some other cases it's still just as clear as always but the marketing people are still very good at selling it to customers.
