content: Why not virtualize it on a $500 off the shelf PC?  My guess would be that they also need to upgrade the way it communicates with the buildings. Did you catch the part about it using essentially pager tones? I bet that is hackable as fuck. Probably isn't using rolling codes or anything. I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason it hasn't already been hacked is that nobody knows it exists If you virtualize it, all you're doing is putting a vulnerable system on a faster machine.
