The market has finally spoken.  IPsec has lost the VPN race.  

Recently I talked with an number of very senior level people in the
IT trenchs. A lot of PC upgrades to XP & Win2K were done to get VPN
capability.  The OS default is PPTP with 40b DES (MPPE). Not L2TP
w/IPsec.  I bet many Cisco folks are upset.

IPsec will probably hang on in specialized niches like net to net
VPNs, etc.

What a humbling result.
