Er, that looks to me like HIDS vs. firewall devices with HIDS - helpful,
but not exactly what I was looking for.  Does that report (which one is
this from?) have anything detailing HIDS vs. NIDS (not firewall devices?),
and/or anything relating to # of units shipped?  ($$$ figures can be
misleading, IMHO).  Or am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks!
