I'm wondering what customers they are targeting this to? A lot of big companies who would care about data on laptops probably have an equally kneejerk reaction to data in the cloud. You could argue it's for small companies. But they have to be a certain size before something like this starts to make sense. I don't do desktop support IT kinds of things, so perhaps I'm being a bit too sweeping in my generalization?
