The other is: Why trust a Jack-of-all-trades software supplier to make
good, specialized software? It's like buying a generic "cake" for $3
at a grocery instead of going to the award-winning _conditorie_, where
cakes start at $10 but where you _know_ that 1) they know their business,
since baking cakes _is_ their business, and 2) they value their customers
because if they didn't, the customers would settle for the $3 bland
stuff.
Plus, I wouldn't put network security into the hands of
"let's-tweak-this-standard-until-it-screams" companies like Microsoft.
BTW, is there a relation between the Raptor Nomad mentioned above and the
Raptor EagleRemote client?
