I think you're on risky ground when you talk about "competing products."
The guys at AT&T put VNC together for their own purposes, and it happens
to be a piece of software that many of us find very useful, but I
really don't think they're out to take over the remote-admin market
with this product. If they were, then it would make sense for the core
dev team to spend a lot of sweat to add features *that lots of folks
ask for*, but as it is, it only makes sense for them to add features
*that they would actually use.*
Of course it is very presumptuous of me to speak for the AT&T dev
team, so maybe I'm completely off track here.
