...to name just a few.

Beta for two months? NAV 2004 has been out for a year, and they still have 
not fixed the Cyrix chip bug 
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2004042112001339?Open&src=bar_sch_nam&docid=2003082810333706&nsf=nav.nsf&view=d4578f66d8f00a0188256d4e006aaa94&dtype=&prod=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl=.

We are also using NAV 2005 successfully, with VNC, but it takes some admin, 
which is what this guy is complaining about. Admin is just part of the cost 
of doing IT business. We can whine, or get busy, our choice.
