Once upon a time Sean Donelan shaped the electrons to say...
>Cisco isn't above adding quirky, proprietary enhancements which make it
>difficult to use another vendor's equipment in combination with Cisco's.

But it has been my experience that thye are still compliant and they 
truly 'enhancements'.  They may make life easier and cause admins to fall 
into patterns whereby they can't do what they are used to doing on 
non-Cisco devices.  But you still have the choice of using only the open
standards and eschewing their enhancements.

With M$ gear many times they 'embrace and extend' shit such that it only
works their way, and you don't have the choice - except not to use M$, if
you are given that choice.
