Agreed .. entirely. However, I'd like to know where IPSwitch's efforts are
most spent. If they're spending their time testing their smtpd, pop3 and
such with different products, security, etc - that's more important to us
than better MSSQL support. If they're spending their efforts in marketing
.. we've all got choice words for 'em. :)
I just hate to see solid software fall apart trying to implement too many
features too quickly, and not testing each phase. It doesn't take long
before the internals of the software falls apart as they try to hack new
functionality into old code.
