I asked the Adtran/Digium guys a similar question at the end of "What's New at 
Digium" at this year's Astricon in Arizona, which was just the announecment of 
the aquisition of SwitchVox.  

The reply was less than encouraging for future dev on the free GUI which is 
what I expected.  While very vague and obviously a question they were not ready 
for, the answer was something along the lines of "Mumble, mumble, it will be up 
to the community to continue development".  

I ask, what is the incentive to put out a full featured GUI for free at this 
point?  

Take into consideration the SwitchVox aquisition and aslo the recent news from 
3Com.  I see no reason to continue dev on AsteriskNOW except the fact that it 
is rigged to move the end user to order phones through a link that will 
obviously take business away to anyone who has not sworn allegiance to Digium 
(and their first born) to become part of their food chain.  

FreePBX seems to be the most logical choice to me.

Thanks,

  Subject: [asterisk-users] AsteriskNOW release date???


  Hi list,

  Anyone knows about the date of the official (stable) release (v1.0) of 
AsteriskNOW??? It's supposed to be at the end of this year, which is very close 
now with no signs of it.

  Thanks...

  Raul
