So when you say "It depends on who is running the IT and what the users need". It certainly does. So I'm guessing you don't run your IT department and your users are housewives or chimps.
Well not all of us are in that position. My users and I (that would be the "we" to which you refer) would laugh our socks off at some salesman trying to flog that shit, but he obviously impressed you, didn't he?
Out of interest, how many PCs DO you actually "support"?
