Vancouver, BC, Canada — September 09, 2010 – CounterPath Corporation, an award-winning provider of desktop and mobile VoIP software solutions, today announced the worldwide availability of X-Lite 4.0.Available as a free download, X-Lite 4.0 is based on a year’s worth of beta user feedback. It takes many of the popular features from X-Lite 3.0 and adds a completely new user interface that provides the choice of a contact-centric experience, a dialpad-centric experience or a combination of the two. Said by: Ack! This damn thing wants to install Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 as a prerequisite. That is NOT mentioned in the 'requirements'. » Oh, the ARROGANCE of programmers just assuming that everyone has surrendered to the dark side.

I would rather have a colonoscopy---performed by Darth Vader with a lightsaber---than install Microsoft.NET Framework. The full installer for.Net 3.5 SP1 is 231.5 MB.

Add that to the 38+ MB of Xlite 4.0 for a total of 270+ MB, that's a bit much to have to install for a free sip client. There are entire linux distributions smaller than that, that are far more functional.

Replace Windows with Linux = no Microsoft.NET. It was that sort of bloat that finally got me to jump to linux. When I ran windows and had to download some 50 meg monstrosity to do a simple job, it was like being led by some nitwit who was also mentally ill. Because hardware manufacturers often do not include drivers for linux, I can not use all the devices I could under windows, but the relief at using a rational OS is worth it. The linux version of the latest X-Lite is 2 megs in size. Nothing else needed to get it running.

So what version of Linux is best for the masses (low maintenance) short of having to buy a Mac or trying to install Mac OS on a friendly Intel based hardware.

Please note I do not intent to get off topic too much but more in the spirit of discovering an stable/not complicated operating system for VOIP applications (including Skype and similar). Thanks in advance for any feedback. Said by: This 'new and improved' version does indeed seem to be a step BACKWARDS in many ways. Looks like version 3 is better in one way or the other. The only major function for version 4 is the Contact Centric which I am not sure if its going to be useful for others. I use X-Lite 3.0 as my primary softphone when using Onesuite so I am disappointed with the latest free version.
