Typical of software companies.

A description that is intended to be a commercial and not really describe
the thing. Such a description usually uses a lot of buzzwords designed specifically with the product in mind. It also uses buzzwords and catch phrases
like "revolutionizes","enterprise", "production quality" and "best-of-breed". 

The biggest transgressor is probably Brockschmidts book Inside Ole,
which runs something like a thousand pages and is one great big commercial for OLE.

The term coined by John Tibbets is "marketecture". [Tibbets, John. '''"IBM Enterprise Architectures: A Comparison of Vendor Initiatives."''' ''Trends in Technology,'' 1995.]

	 :	''"Marketecture uses an architectural-looking diagram, but the arrangement of the pieces has no real technical significance.  Marketectural charts are like a set of shelves that display products, components and standards to the consumer but do not represent how the software works...."''

Example product names:
	* Honeywell "Ultimate" computer.  ''(A mini that was a pain to reboot, as it could only boot from its 9-track tape, not its hard drive!)''

On the other hand, there have been some local names that were really honest:
	* "Expensive Typewriter" = one of the first word processing programs.
