...oh but they do. If you're in education and are an InCommon member, you get unlimited EV certs. It's pretty nice as you can add read certs to literally every server in your system and not have to abuse a *. cert. Hell you can even add real certs to every AD machine; no more creating your own CA and installing it via a group policy.

That was back in 2012 when I worked for a University. Good luck getting those certs though. Their web service was so broken and if you ever asked for a 2nd cert it'd revoke the first one (which is great if you use them for e-mail encryption because now you can't read any of your old e-mails :-P .. that was more of an Outlook/GAL issue though).

I really hate that InCommon was using Comodo considering all the shit they've done (like issue Google and Facebook certs to the Iranian government).
