I have heard this also. Speaking from experience:1) support was nonexistent 2) marketing was nonexistent 3) NAI was relying on 3d parties to move the hardware 4) the E500 changed O/Ses at least 2 times (I believe maybe three). 5) Not sure that security folks will be happy not having access to the core of the system (read no root access). I am not surprised they floundered. Having said that; the boxes were well made, did a good job (except for the mail issues with the E500), and they will make decent servers for someone's home when they are taken out of service some day.
