Bravo! It is nice to see this coming from someone as well respected as Mr.
Norstad. My work uses SAM on all it's machines, and it is the most annoying
bit of my day.... And that is disregarding the fact that it makes my boot-up
time almost three times longer than it should be....ack!
I use Disinfectant at home, but for some reason you can't convince some
corporate-types that a 'FREE' product is as good (or indeed BETTER) than
something they pay to license...
