Generally speaking, we've gotten a lot of feedback from developers
that our control is easier to use, faster and (probably more
importantly) doesn't have some of the fairly unpleasant bugs and
memory leaks that are manifested in Microsoft's control (however, it
would seem that most of these bugs crop up when trying to create
server applications with their control, not simple clients).

There's been some technical discussions on Usenet by other developers
comparing Microsoft's and our control, so you might want to search
using DejaNews if your interested in some objective third-party
comments. Given that SocketWrench is free, you're welcome to download
a copy from our site www.catalyst.com and check it out (you might want
to take a look at the FAQ while you're there).
