It's evident that EMC lost their focus on NetWorker. late Exchange 2010
support and VADP support are some good examples on how EMC is neglecting
NetWorker customers. Actually EMC still talks about the Server 2008 DR
support and the VADP support as "new features", but those features should
had been out 18 months before it got released. Another example is the
security model as discussed in the NMM issue thread this week. And what
scares me the most with that issue, is that EMC does not consider it an
issue.

Can't the users of this community not unite in putting pressure on some
RFE's?
