AIUI the thing also has massive remote administration capabilities - I cant check for myself at the moment because at least from here the site is comprehensively slashdotted.

You wouldnt believe how badly people can screw their home PC's, and the grief a software solution that absolutely must run interuptted to provide secure connectivity can have. Equally, you wouldnt believe the grief you'd have trying to convince 15000 techno luddites who just want their market data/portfolio/email/real broadcast/etc that they should be using linux.
Or the tecno ubergeeks who are damned if they're developing ona linux box instead of their sparc.
etc.
*shrug*. One mans pain is anothers gain, an all that...
