No wonder Peter Norton got out when he did! Symantec sucks and Norton 
knows it!

Symantec sucks big time! Guess it's time to retire Sygate personal 
firewall. 




Have they continued research and development on any software they 
bought out, such as Partition Magic 8.0? I hate to see good products 
bought out and ignored, thus making them useless, eventually, if not 
within a year or so.

Exactly.  Ghost stayed the same product for -years- with seemingly no
research until they bought out Powerquest and ghost became Drive Image 7.
(basically the exact same product).

This seems to be their MO.

I've been using Sygate for quite some time, and it's been an
excellent product.  I currently run the Pro version on my home
system, and have found it to be a great value,  
 
 
This corp buy out leaves me wondering how well the next defenition

files will be like, and what support might be like for the product.

Nope.  They are a destroyer.  Worse than MS, I think.
