I was staff at NTGR, decided to quit last year when I saw things going in the wrong direction.
Theres too much competition in the NAS market with low margins. Most consumer systems are all open-source based, not contributing a lot back to the authors of the original software, taking it for a ride. And many are not hardware agnostic, only working on specific over-priced hardware (generic PC in the end though). Distributions like FreeNAS are making strides, and work on off the shelf hardware.
