At 1.5 million for an unlimited license, the people at Legato
are not just "assholes" but arrogant as hell too.
Their product is not that complicated, and it seems to me
at least, that they deserve a good dose of open source
competition.
I use Legato products because management bought it. Not
because I think they are the best at what they do. They are
pretty good at marketing. And I guess Bill Gates said it best
"Success is making smart people think they need you".
....if only there was something else....

Legato is a group of assholes. Essentially, you have to pay a one time
fee for going 'cross-platform' (different platform server then client.)
It is just their way of raping you even more then the $300 you already
paid per-client.
Call Cathy Won at 650-812-6151 and tell her you think it sucks that
you have to pay another $2000 for an unsupported, unofficial client.
I sure did.
Tell your sales rep too.
BTW - If you had an NT server (like I do) and FreeBSD clients (like me)
you have to pay this fee too.
