why? because it would cut into sales for local firewall style products? i always assumed most of the money in that world was in enterprise software, services and labor.

i don't think the personal tools for this are all that great anyhow and tools that would allow consumers to monitor their own devices and use oss tools for defeating software that doesn't serve them could very well be a hit.

what's the alternative? a closed platform like apple? there's gotta be a middle ground between having to run your own monitoring infra and handing the reins over for everything to a company like apple.
