For over three years now, Mac OS X has gotten faster with every release — and not just "faster in the experience of most end users", but faster on the same hardware. This trend is unheard of among contemporary desktop operating systems
Grid computing is a phrase in distributed computing which can have several meanings:
Trixbox Pro Normally after an install, I assume you would go to the IP Address of the machine, instead I get the Apache screen asking me to contact the administration. Rather than typing the IP Address of your machine, after install, you need to go to http://cp.trixbox.com/ . You can only hope that cp.trixbox never goes down or you are hooped because this is how you have access to the machine. Why it was designed like this I could understand for managability, but it places way too much reliance on Trixbox to run your phone system. If this is the case, i recommend you purchase support for the system because you are depending on them, but I dont' recommend running the free Trixbox Pro version and relying on Trixbox.
My preference is definately the CE version since there is so much functionality and flexibility, plus you don't depend on the connection to Fonality to view the user interface.
LINQ is a great feature for those of us who are developers and a God-Send in some ways because it allows to to have SQL like syntax to manipulate your data objects in C#. This is definately one of the great reasons to use .NET Framework 3.5. Traditionally if you wanted to manipulate data (which is what we developers do most of the time), you would have to transform between Datasets, XML documents and configuration files. With LINQ, you can now use SQL like syntax on objects that use the IEnumerable Interface, Datasets or XML!You can read up more about he LINQ project at MSDN.
