Re: Automated Upgrade Product

  Gary, 

        Interesting, I have been using the "GHOST" product since we all 
discussed it earlier this year !!  I would be interested in a comparison 
of features and functions, if anyone who is using "GHOST" also tries this 
new tool. 

        As to being the only product, well I think "GHOST" has been able 
to claim that for awhile, so how can these people ???

        Also, how is this licensed ??
