Default Will Zaio hijack my data?

I use United Systems software, and enjoy its simplicity. My fear is that the evil Canadians that now own the company may be able to access my data through code inserted in upgrade packages. Am I being paranoid? I am just trying to understand the motive behind their purchase of United Systems, other than gaining access to their licensee list and barraging us with promises of a country club lifestyle (just release your signature rights and let trainees take photos, no really).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I think you will find typical forms software sales had little to do with the Zaio purchase of United Systems. The may eventually think of mining data via the software, but I truly doubt it has crossed their minds at this point. Zaio wants to use the assets of United Systems to benefit the Zaio system. Other than as a potential zone purchaser, I doubt Zaio has give a second thought to appraisers that use United Systems software.

That is why I will not use the software anymore or will renew. Great bunch of guys, but after the Z Blitz, I moved on to another software.

Funny you should say that. There has been a black helicopter flying around here lately. I wonder if it is making the wierdos nervous.
