Ya it looks like the end of the line for Sygates personal and small office products and it seems Sygate like will be focusing only on enterprise and corporate solutions in future

Well that's a dirty tactic if ever I've seen one.
I always liked ZA best, but Syage has always been a close second... I sure hope that we don't see anymore of this... the computer security industry has enough challenges in the hackers and malware creators out there... they don't need to go ripping each other to shreds as well.

That is awful news 
Sygate is my choice for firewall. ZA was not bad, but withouthte finer things that Sygate has like traffic loggging and backtrace/whois. As well as all the standard features you find in a firewall. (Stealthing, AntiIP spoofing, DLL checking)

As usual, Symantec aren't doing their customers any favors. Their SystemWorks is now turning into a monster with all the updates needed, along with the space it takes on your system, and if you want to get rid of it, then it's one of the hardest things to clear off your registry and folders.

Yowzer Guys - Mcafee will need to have a deep pocket and a very thick wallet to be able to swallow Symantec. You can hate em all you like but they are an extremely successful corporation worth billions - assets of almost US 6 billion and revenue for this year of US 2.5 billion
