I haven't seen the free edition but I have used switchvox for about three years now... the equipment works flawlessly, quick to install, is easy to use, and easy to train on... 

yes, their gui is light years ahead of anything else and that is why digium was smart enough to pick them up.  the guys and gals at switchvox are top notch designers.  there is only one complaint that I have and if there is only one complaint, you know the product is good.   the complaint was that in installations of over 500+ extensions or intricate IVRs, it was tedious to page through or scroll the web interface.  I talked to tristen at VON Boston and they are reworking that mechanism. 

in the past, they integrated the asterisk product and probably worked closely with digium programmers to get * bug fixes they they found identified.  now that workload is offloaded to digium and they can concentrate more on the gui. 
the latest release, that I haven't seen until this week at VON, has plugins so you can do cool things like 'google' a caller id, pop up a google map of where the call came from, launch sales force or sugarCRM right in their gui... you can even design your own plugins...  

switchvox was already ahead of the competitors in this marketplace, this new release leapfrogs them 100 fold.  switchvox has made a smart move by adding the plugins  digium saw the benefit of picking them up, and it is a VERY wise choice to add this into your product mix.

It looks like its limited to 15 extensions and no access to most of the 
call center things and no call recording. Another free distro stealing 
some of the trixboxers is CentPBX.
    
      
SwitchVox has a really nice GUI, not to mention i stoled their website 
them for my own personal website some years ago (now rewroted).

I got some decent idea for reimplementing the GUI for the PBX of my 
company, we're going to release a free version too in january.

so basically SwitchVox pw0n TrixBox badly

That should read "Digium/Adtran" p0wned "Trixbox". 

Made for some fun undertones at Astricon. 

I wish I had snapped a picture of Mark Spencer standing in front of the 
larger than life Trixbox convention setup with a BIG grin on his face 
the evening before the announcement of the Switchvox acquisition.  I 
wondered why the sh*t eating grin.....  Too funny.

Thanks,
Steve
