How is that different than a Mazda pickup truck or IBM Personal
Computer, or any number of a thousand different every day items? Sheesh,
indeed!


It's not, and that's the problem: When you have company A that simply slaps
their name on company B's product, obtaining service & support for that
product is typically much more difficult than if you simply bought the product
from company B to begin with. Additionally, the purchase price from company A
is often higher than going the direct route!

If you bought company B's product, you go to company B for support.
If that company is a fly-by-nighter, you shouldn't have bought it.
Because it is the same widget as Company A's is meaningless. You
didn't buy company A's, even if they're the same hunk-o-hardware.
If company A's was cheaper, you're a fool for buying the same thing
with company B's sticker on it. There is no fraud going on here at
all. It's all aboveboard. The problem is not with re-badging but
with your perception. TANSTAAFL.
