PGP Acquired From NAI
August 19, 2002
Dear Customer,
Today we are pleased to announce that PGP Corporation, a newly formed, venture-funded security company, has acquired the PGP desktop encryption and wireless product lines from Network Associates. As you know, prior to placing the products into maintenance mode, we were actively looking for a buyer that would continue the development and support of the technology.
Network Associates has retained products developed using PGPsdk including McAfee E-Business Server for encrypted server-to-server file transfer, McAfee Desktop Firewall and McAfee VPN Client. These products will remain a part of Network Associates existing product portfolio and we will continue to develop them to meet your security needs. PGP Corporation has acquired PGPmail, PGPfile, PGPdisk, PGPwireless, PGPadmin and PGPkeyserver encryption software products for Win32 and Macintosh, PGPsdk encryption software development kit, and PGP Corporate Desktop for Macintosh.
In addition to the technology, PGP Corporation has acquired all worldwide customer license agreements and technical support obligations. To ensure a seamless transition, Network Associates will work with PGP Corporation to support PGP customers through October 26, 2002. PGP Corporation will contact you shortly with details on its plans and product direction.
We trust that you will have continued success with the PGP desktop and wireless encryption products through PGP Corporation. Network Associates appreciates your business and we value our continued relationship across our remaining product lines.
, how will that help if your laptop gets stolen, do you haev to enter the PGP password do boot windows?
No, but you have to enter the PGP password to steal all the work I've done for my company. The notebook itself is worthless by comparison.
You sounded credible... ..until you revealed that you think programmers *pick* one Window Manager over another when designing applications.
Tell me, did any of the X linux applications out there that are bundled with Redhat and begin with the letter "k" get designed for a particular Window Manager? Or were they designed to function in every destkop environment (Gnome, KDE, CDE, etc.)
Just curious.
Obviously, you have no idea what a Window Manager actually does.
Gnome and KDE are desktop environments, not Window Managers.
This space intentionally left blank.
Right...and meanwhile, he was being polite and courteous.
I felt it was one of the best pro-windows posts I've seen on slashdot. Well written, non-inflammatory and for the most part a good post. Besides, what he said was mostly valid if you substitute Window Manager with Desktop Environment. An honest mistake amongst non-linux users. Even some I know, if you ask what WM they use will say, "Gnome."
And I'm not sure why you thought his post wasn't polite...
Dacels Jewelers can't be trusted.
PGP-Disk works flawlessly on Windows XP, have been using it for quite some time now. It's just not officially supported.
I did not know that.
Is there a "unofficial-compatibility-list" somewhere that lists what works in XP and what doesn't? If the IPSec VPN works as well, I might just be in business...

Error: Could not connect to MySql
This error is a config issue - so the admin of that site isn't ready for prime time. Any web site with a MySQL backend has to change some MySQL parms to fit that application.
