[asterisk-biz] Anyone still using skype ?

[C F]

Yes, I am and so are around 80% of all the other PCs in the world. I
have to admit I have as many Linux machines that I manage as Windows
machines, so for me the statistics doesn't hold. While I admire what
linux can do, it is in no way a replacement for windows in an office
envirnment, just like Mac isn't, as much as I would like to argue in
favor of linux. All of my linux machines are special or single purpose
machines running Firewalls/Routers, Asterisk or apache.

Most of what I do has to do with Phone systems. Avaya Definity makes a
nice GUI for managing their systems, guess what, it only works in
Windows. Pansonic makes a nice GUI and again it only works in Windows.
Samsong makes DVRs that has a remote viewing program, guess what it
only works on Windows, and most of the other companies that
manufacture DVRs write their tools only form Windows.

Granted most of business productivity tools (Office etc.) are now
cross platform thanks to OpenOffice.org. But any other tool is not,
has Intuit released a version of QuickBooks for Linux? I don't think
so. Did the Sage guys do that? Nope. So to answer your question I have
another question: Who exactly is not using Windows?
