- We (as in Virtual Technologies, Inc) have two public comments to make that
- are related to this article:
-
- First off, if we have indeed exceeded the non-commercialization
- policy of the net, we appologize. In all of our postings we felt
- we were responding to a direct question on a related topic. However,
- posting of the comparison, even in response to someone directly
- asking for a comparision was probably the wrong thing to do.
-
- However, we do stand by the comparision as a complete and utterly
- fair comparision that lists all of the strengths and weaknesses of
- each product. (As opposed to something that is called a "comparision",
- but which only lists the strengths of one of the products). We have
- received several comments from Purify aficionados who referred to the
- comparison as a "remarkedly fair comparison".
-
- The second point that we would like to make is that we do in
- fact have a complete and factual response to this "comparison".
- However, out of deference to the net we have chosen not to
- post it here. If you would like a copy, you can email info@vti.com
- or myself and we will send it to you.
