I went to the Cisco I-Home just before it closed... I must say this is
the very thing that crossed my mind. Everything was MS and it looked
pretty good (honestly!) - however they kept avoiding the security
issues.
Aparently last time the 'house' crashed they couldn't get in to sort it
out! The windows upstairs were all locked open and the doors locked
shut.
Mind you - they had some pretty sexy hardware in there!
Just imagine getting home and finding some 37713 hax0r has 0wn3d your
house!

You mentioned your name as if I should recognize it, but beyond the
obvious facts that you are a bachelor, a solicitor, a freemason, and
an asthmatic, I know nothing whatever about you.
