Subject: [PGP-USERS] Changes At NAI?

Looks like NAI is parting with the PGP product line, at least part of it.

"Continued Maintenance and Support for Non-integrated Products. Network
Associates will continue to sell and provide premier support for products
not integrated into McAfee or Sniffer. The Gauntlet Firewall and PGP file
and desktop encryption products will not be integrated. We will seek buyers
for these product lines who are best able to support the users needs. When
a
company buys these products, Network Associates will work with them to
provide a smooth transition for existing customers and the acquiring
company."

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Network Associates announced
today that they are ceasing development of most of the PGP
product line, including PGPMail and PGP Desktop Encryption
software.  This was apparently due to disappointing sales of the
products.  See the FAQ for more information on what's being killed
and what's being kept." Another anonymous and unverified submitter
says, "The entire PGP Business Unit was axed more or less wholesale.
I guess selling encryption doesn't really make money.  I worked there
up until today and somewhere around 250 of the 300 employees were
clipped."
