That's good to hear. The introduction of competing products indicates a healthy market segment. It will also benefit the consumer in the long run, since competition tends to force companies to improve their products and lower prices.

Also, it's much more difficult to compete with a product that isn't for sale yet. Promises are always perfect. Now we finally get to see how Orb holds up in the real world, and how Castlewood handles the real problems involved in ramping up production and supporting users.
