I briefly looked into M7 last year -- it looked very interesting, but the
pricing gave me pause.  The pricing clearly targeted enterprises, not
individual developers -- last September, the price of the M7 Application
Assembly Suite was $12,500 per server plus $3,000 per developer.  Even if it
was incredible, I would have difficulty getting my company to purchase it.
And, I surely couldn't afford to buy it for myself.

If you search on Google, you can take a look at their old cached pages,
which will yield lots of clues about their previous incarnation.  If I
remember correctly (they don't show it on their site anymore), the
executives mostly came from Symantec Internet Tools, after it was sold off.

Clearly, the M7 Application Assembly Suite approach didn't work.  Thus, the
NitroX product.  But, notice that if you go to the pricing page, there is no
pricing mentioned.  I'm not interested in evaluating a product that I have
no idea what it would cost me.
