um actually all it will do is make them think home routers aren't worth their time and cause them to drop consumer grade equipment as well as stop support of any firmware updates for routers that are already sold, screwing over the customers who own them.

Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson discussed this fiasco during Wednesday's "Security Now" netcast, and Leo recommends against all things Cisco, based on the onerous TOS that were initially included with the "upgrade". See »twit.tv/show/security-now/360 for full details.

hmm you put me in an awkward position. I mean on one hand Leo is the one and only God when it comes to technology, but on the other Cisco does too many good things that counteract the bonehead stupid bad things they do.

Companies make mistakes sometimes.
