Digium is 100% lost in the map. If they would come up with a Paid<br>
version of Asterisk, one that would use the .NET framework in Windows,<br>
something simple to install, they could go public on the product.<br>
Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that<br>
would do exactly the same would be a home run. Note: I am a Linux<br>
expert user, but it took me years to get here. And still, moving from<br>
regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 (RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck. The .NET<br>
framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of<br>
friendliness and on equal footing on performance. I donīt mean another<br>
slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I<br>
would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Windows and Linux should be able to coexist. I have had great success setting up a VMware ESXi server with Windows VMs for AD and Exchange and Linux VMs for Asterisk and Web / FTP. Asterisk with Exchange UM for voicemail is a winning combination and works seamlessly. It is essentially a private cloud of the customer. Why not use the OS that works for the task at hand?<br>
