Erm..if you buy a TMG appliance, it will look like an appliance because
it is an appliance...:)

I think that the idea that TMG is an appliance is going to be a
difficult concept for people to grasp. It doesn't look like an appliance
but it behaves like one. It's a UTM. UTM do a particular set of
features. If you want something outside of the feature set then you use
something else. I certainly wouldn't consider this a drawback on TMG,
it's really a feature of any UTM appliance. If you want infinite
flexibility then you don't buy UTM devices.

 

Headlines are headlines and it's the state of things that if you speak
negatively about Microsoft products you'll get more readers. When you
have more readers you live on to write another day. The article is much
more positive than negative but one would never know that from the
headline. It's all about clicks.

 

thanks,

Read the article and then re-read the headline.

Nothing like "objective" editoralism ;)
