Isn't that somewhat akin to comparing a hangglider to a Boeing 747?

They make no mention of an appliance anything like a NetApp, and they're concentrating on small business/SOHO in the several thousand rather than tens of thousand dollar range.

Also, the wider acceptance of "appliances" will do good things for NetApp and other appliance vendors -- regardless of their target audience.

Just my two cents...
