Re: Comodo acquires BOClean
said by Cudni  :I can't help thinking these are good news for both the companies involved and all their present and future customers. Cudni I have to agree with you and think Nancy and Kevin put a lot of thought into this before selling their baby! Like others have said, only time will tell.
Everyone seems to be missing the fact that Kevins on board at Comodo now and that can't be a bad thing for several reasons I can think of, but I'm not going to speculate on what changes will come about.
I'm sure sooner or later Nancy will drop by and give us a little insight into the whats and whys, but I'm sure she couldn't do it until the official announcement was made at Comodo.

Well I see the post in their forums but I found no Official Press release yet. So I guess it is not public yet. |

I guess everyone has their price. 'tis a sad day indeed.
I imagine the level of service we got used to with nsclean will go the way of any decent company that sold out to a corporate entity

I sure hope you are right, Gary, but nonetheless I'm suspicious. This is a typical part of any acquisition or "merger", namely that the same fine management team will remain on board...blah, blah, blah. It usually doesn't mean a hill of beans, except perhaps that Comodo made it a condition, for appearances sake, that Kevin and/or Nancy stay for a prescribed period. No, I fear that things will never be the same again. --

Was just about to buy this. WOOOO I would have been pissed. 
Although this is very sad. What im scared for is comodo to get rid of boclean line and just use their integrated product. However if they offer both that would be awesome. I suggest everyone who is worried about the merger and your requests go to the comodo forum. The ceo actually participates on the forums and listens to his users, something you dont see very often. I hold comodo group very high for user based security group and as long as people speak their minds comodo most likely wont mess it up. |

| The CEO is ...well, I don't want to get this deleted...stick in something not flattering.
The CEO got himself banned at Wilders Security last year and I saw the whole thing unfold. It is difficult to get banned there..he is in an "elite" club and he deserved it.
So, the fact that he posts in his own forums is not worth 2 cents. Kevin, I guess, has no idea who he has sold to. BoClean is GONE. Forget it...it will die a slow, choking death... but it's gone as of now.
I still wish Kevin and Nancy the best and hope they got a lot of money.

Stop whinging like old ladies. Comodo won't stuff-up BoClean, in fact it will remain the same, or even better and FREE!
Nice.

First TDS goes down. Now BOClean sells out to Comodo.
I wish I had a good feeling about this. but I'll reserve my final comments until I see how this transfer plays out.

Also it would have been nice if Nancy and Kevin had paid their faithful customers the courtesy of informing them of the decion; I can find no mention of it either on nsclean's website or BOClean's Gladiator forum.

BoClean has been an integral part of my computer setup since Win98.On hearing this news I first checked the date as april 1st looms, but, as sam said as the elves passed. "Makes me feel sad"
maybe it'll be the exception that breaks the bloatware rule. we shall see, we shall see |
