The software is only in English at this time, not in Romanian.<br/><br/>2. Windows Vista compatibility: you can sanitize hard drives regardless of the operating system of the host computer (so it can also be Vista). You cannot create DisposeSecure bootable disks under Vista.<br/><br/>3. About configuring the computers to boot via LAN: yes, this is for computers that do not have the network booting activated. Normally, computers in a network should be configured to boot via the network. This operation should only be done once.<br/><br/>4. Regarding the Successive Boot Sequence, if the server part is not started, then the client computers are not sanitized, so this is done only when you start the server (under normal conditions, when you don't want to sanitize computers, you simply keep the server off).<br/><br/>5. And finally, this review has many constructive parts and we thank you, the reviewer(s) for the time they took to do it. This has been also sent to our development team who will try to improve the program. To answer some of your questions:

1. The software is only in English at this time, not in Romanian.

Hey Belgian Dude!

You’ve given me some very constructive comments, and I’ll be sure to verify certain things claimed by a software company from now on – that is, if it’s verifiable! David also says that I’m a little gullible in certain areas, but I’m working on it! ;)

I also thank you for your kind words about my reviews, and I have a policy not to ‘bite’ my friends! ;)

Well done.<br/><br/>A word of caution though, don’t be to quick to take a publishers word for it that the glowing reviews that they have are actual for real, especially if they can’t even be bothered to provide a link for those that should be online.<br/><br/>Also be careful of blindly acknowledging a companies mentioning of that their product is used by this or that famous or high profile institute or company without having corroboration about it from either a couple of independent sources or from the company or institute itself. E.g.: the claim that this (Romanian) product is being used by the US Dept. of Justice seems to be highly unlikely. I would think it far more likely that someone somewhere in the D.O.J. is using it on his or her computer but it’s kind of a stretch to then claim that it has been selected by the entire D.O.J. as their product of choice.<br/><br/>If you have corroborating evidence to the veracity of their claim(s) however you should ignore my ramblings. If you can’t find it you would do well to keep things like that in mind because it would make your reviews indeed showing more teeth if not actually bite. :)<br/><br/>Then again I can completely understand that you don’t want to bite to hard in the hand that commissions the review but on the other hand I’m sure of what I read of you before, here as well as on GAOTD, that you don’t want to end up being used as a rubber stamp.<br/><br/>Hope you keep up the good work. I read that you are a English major so I hope you bear with me, English not being my native language.

Nice to see a detailed review of such a highly specialized product. Well done.

A word of caution though, don’t be to quick to take a publishers word for it that the glowing reviews that they have are actual for real, especially if they can’t even be bothered to provide a link for those that should be online.

Also be careful of blindly acknowledging a companies mentioning of that their product is used by this or that famous or high profile institute or company without having corroboration about it from either a couple of independent sources or from the company or institute itself.

If you have corroborating evidence to the veracity of their claim(s) however you should ignore my ramblings. If you can’t find it you would do well to keep things like that in mind because it would make your reviews indeed showing more teeth if not actually bite. :)

Then again I can completely understand that you don’t want to bite to hard in the hand that commissions the review but on the other hand I’m sure of what I read of you before, here as well as on GAOTD, that you don’t want to end up being used as a rubber stamp.

Hope you keep up the good work.
