I didn't see it as an attempt to use sex appeal to sell. I see it as a <br>
demo of an office worker installing the product. Many women would be<br>
able to identify with her in that regard.<br>

Does your 12 year old understand the telephony needs of the typical <br>
business?<br>

Wrong. With commercial software I often have to buy some kind of<br>
"developer kit" to extend or modify it. Because I don't have full<br>
source, I am often still limited. With open source the customer is not <br>
paying for that or many hours spent reverse engineering a commercial<br>
product.<br>
