Who makes G-WAN and Why?
I started to code in year 1979, and worked almost always on DOS/WINDOWS. In year
1998, I founded TWD Industries to market Remote-Anything (RA), a desktop-sharing tool.
RA (~100 KB) was portable, easier to use and to deploy, faster, safer and more stable
than SYMANTEC “pcAnywhere” (53% of the market). RA did so well (in 138 countries)
that SYMANTEC “Norton Antivirus” (87% of the market at the time) started to delete RA,
claiming that it was an unfortunate (but constant) string of “accidental false-alerts”.
TWD responded with the Directory Server (DS), which allowed people to deploy RA on a
WAN without having to configure their firewalls and routers. By waving the costs of largescale deployments, RA became uniquely useful to very important Windows users.
That’s when MICROSOFT killed RA with “Windows Anti-Spyware” / “Windows Defender”.
The MICROSOFT Virus Information alliance (VIA), where antivirus vendors are paid by
MICROSOFT, swiftly joined forces to delete RA, then subtly rated “not-a-virus”.
We sued FORTINET, SOPHOS, SYMANTEC and TREND MICRO. The Court fined us,
stating that it is “perfectly legitimate” for antivirus vendors to delete a competitor’s product
– without providing any technical reason for doing so. So much for “Fair Competition”,
“Free and Open Markets” and... the (famous 'three strikes') “Justice” department.
Then, we sued large French RA pirate users (OPAC: a government agency, FINAMA
bank, GROUPAMA insurance, MAF AGROBOTIC: an industry world leader, SCRIBA: a
MICROSOFT partner) for a total of 1.2 billion euro (bare retail price of the RA and DS
counterfeit licenses officially seized at their headquarters – without any damages).
The French Police, judges and prosecutors have scuppered all those cases by silently
removing the officially seized evidences from case records: one month after the seizure,
FINAMA secretly gave the Police (an unofficial) affidavit made at a different place.
Unsurprisingly, it claimed that FINAMA never used RA. But this document also invoked
“bank secrecy” to ask the Police to (illegally) replace the official bailiff affidavit exposing
the fraud by the fake affidavit. The Police did it. And the General Prosecutor of Paris
covered the Police when we denounced this criminal activity (called forfeiture by the law).
Authorities are the puppets of those big companies who have the power to rewrite history
– and they routinely do it because “ impunity: wealth ” (Ambrose Bierce).
While corruption is successful at preserving the interest of actively lobbying incumbents, it
is ravaging this other kind of business busy at solving real-life end-users' problems.
G-WAN will bring TWD back to life – by giving end-users what the lobbyists don’t.
Unlike Windows, Linux is virus-free, fast – and welcoming innovation, not fighting it.
And G-WAN is free for all, sparing “Justice” the hurdle of having to break the law.
