RE: OT: how many AV or Encryption products can the m-arket sustain?

M. Castillo,

We all know that there is a long hill to climb from a blank editor buffer to
a working driver, a longer hill to climb to successfully make an AV product
or an encryption device that is secure (c.f. Practical Cryptography), and an
even higher hill to commercialization. I don’t think that I’m insulting
anyone in suggesting that not all the people who pop up on this list with
‘how do I get started’ queries will end up with a working driver, let alone
a commercial product.
