They wanted to cast off the distasteful image of an evil

hacker backdoor utility so they could gain the distasteful

image of an evil pointy-haired-boss snoopware utility? To

this i say feh.

Maybe it's just me, but if I found Netbus Pro installed on

my computer at work, I'd quit. I wouldn't want to work for

any company with the brazen hubris and untrammelled

arrogance suggested by that level of surveillance. Trust

is a two-way street, and the sooner employees challenge

such outright invasion on the job, the better for us all.
