For $1-200, MA Pro would be a nice emergency toolbox, but if you can truly ROI MA as is, I can only assume you have bad IT practices. SSH & TS are very useful (and avail in far cheaper apps), but much of the rest of the tools are either are pretty hard to ROI for properly-managed systems and practices. If you need to reboot Windows servers on the go for something that doesn't require more-advanced troubleshooting, sounds like maybe you have bigger problems. Hey, to each his or her own, I'm sure Rove is glad to have you as a customer with deep pockets. Best of luck to you. Of course I’ve used it.

If you had, you would know how good of a tool this is for admins. Ever pulled your laptop out at the movies to reboot a server? Use MA once while you are out having dinner or on a date and you will immediately take your comment back. Till you use it, don't comment on it. @dk

Hopefully with the growth of BB app dev there will be enough competitors for the individual components to shake Rove off their high horse. Rove Mobile is a perfect example of forcing an all-or-nothing upsell that customers don't want. Funniest part of the "Basic" edition? A remote server admin suite for Blackberry that can't remote admin a Blackberry server. Classic.
