[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on windows

[Steve Underwood]

Cisco seem to be moving their CCM users to Linux. At least I have heard 
of a few users going that way, after Cisco recommended it.

CCM doesn't usually handle anything near to hard real-time, so it is a 
lot less demanding than something like Asterisk.

Regards,
Steve
