Last thing I remember is that these "reviews" resulted in a  rather
devastating verdict for the product. Would you like to provide a link to
an updated, independant review ? Having the source-code opened would
help, too.
Also, IIRC, your company is now being sued at least by one US-state over
"false claims".
