Heh - They told me the Venturecom was an entire operating system that ran the Windows system for the GUI as an application. My thought was Windows on top of Windows - what could possibly go wrong? Later we had a couple small Cinci horizontals with Cinci's windows based control. Very difficult to keep running although I was not sure where the problem was - control, implementation or cheap hardware. Very difficult to troubleshoot with very limited access (closed source). You could bring techs in but that got expensive very fast.
