Not by a mile. Windows 7 literally beats Vista to death -- it's a lot snappier and (to me, anyway) a lot more stable. Let's not forget that it actually runs in 512 MB of RAM, and I can attest to this. I'm an OS X guy by trade and employment

I didn't mean that I don't like the request/response model. I meant going beyond that, by which I meant voicemail, hold music, extensions, conference calls, and so on, seems like it would be difficult to implement with the Twilio model. Tha

FreePBX/Asterisk is a good alternative to this, if a pain to administer. Twilio seems great for a request/response Web app, but going much further than that seems like it'd be a challenge (by design; Twilio seems to emphasize that model and
