Maybe if your table provided ANY technical details people wouldn't be calling 
it a "blatant commercial plug".  There was nothing technical save more maybe 
the NIC cards supported and the number of interfaces, both of which watchguard 
doesn't show very well!

No one is going to cut you any slack for this type of overly simplistic 
advertisement.  Come on, if you are going to claim a "hardened linux kernel" 
(which I heard some people refer to as a oxymoron), what's hardened?  Give 
some technical information.

In addition a number of your "facts" for other products are just out and out 
WRONG.  Maybe you should do a little more work (your bias shows much too much) 
before wasting your bandwidth again.

And if a "multitude of people" are asking for technical details (none of which 
I have seen on this list!) then rely to them and not this list.
