Reasonable people can disagree on the meaning of words. Here is what you
wrote:
"There is one huge difference between Norton Ghost and Acronis TrueImage and
that is the word Symantec."
FWIW, Ghost is the only Symantec software on my computer. I was a loyal user
of Norton branded programs even as they became bloated and slowed my
computer, and even though I suffered grief from Live Update. I finally threw
in the towel when it turned out that the only way to 'upgrade' NAV is to
completely remove it, a complicated and lengthy procedure.
In my experience, Ghost is very different. Perhaps I have PowerQuest to
thank?
