[OPLINTECH] Drive Vaccine

[Chad Neeper]

Very interesting. I've been watching for a long time to see if there would
ever be a competing product with similar features to that of Deep Freeze.
I've been surprised that I've never seen another product that works quite
like it...not even any budding open source projects, which surprises me. I
think Faronics has a patent on the technology, which may be why I've never
seen a product that works in a similar way.    And yet, now here's Drive
Vaccine. I wonder what their angle is and how they don't run afoul of
Faronics' patents.  (I could be completely wrong about the patents and what
they're for. I've not really looked into it...just saw some references to
it once not too long ago and figured that explained the lack of competition
in this space.)

(If there aren't any legal restrictions, this would definitely be the
perfect open source project, given all the libraries, schools, and
corporations that benefit from DF!)

Definitely worth taking a look at DV!
