You know, when you click the link it says pretty clearly "By Freeform Dynamics, sponsored by X-IO Technologies". And, to be perfectly honest, there's nothing in Tony's article there that is untowards. Furthermore, I am pretty familiar with the Freeform guys, and they don't screw around. They would have collected the data and done proper analysis on it.
"Sponsored by X-IO"? Sure. I buy that's the case. But that won't make what's in the report invalid. Maybe that's the problem, eh? It's hitting a little too close to home?
