NAI is now taking steps to remove the remaining copies of PGP from the Internet, not long after announcing that the company will not release its fully completed Mac OS X and Windows XP versions, and will no longer sell any copies of its PGP software.

Do we still believe this was a pure cost-cutting measure?
