I totally agree.....a professional look and feel "out of the box" would definitely help a product like this get more immediate acceptance in the corporate world. If management gets a first impression that Snort or any other open source software is being maintained by a bunch of people who aren't serious due to little remarks like this (which you would never see in the a commercial package), they will hesitate to bring it into a corporate environment. I would love to see the open source world really take off and overcome the Microsoft monster, and professionalism out of the box would be a good place to start if the developers are serious about competing with the commercial apps. Just my 2 cents.....
Commercial products have had easter eggs, humorus tidbits and the like for as long as I can recall. Just because it's commercial it does not mean that it's 'pure'. A tiny example is Solaris.
