I certainly could have mis-remembered, but we can all go to the videotape here if we want to check what he said exactly.

Improvements on the initial feature set provide more ways to manage computers without actually touching them, which saves money as companies support their users. This interview was done at the fall ManageFusion 07 convention in Orlando.
