I have taken CF to a caming convention the last 3 years and it is a huge
success. The biggest problem is the client. Not many people have X, so I
have to agree with Brian. We need a true client that will work (I hate
to say it) under Windows.
The java client is a start. I beta tested the client in the beginning
and it was just to slow for Win95, so I sidelined the testing. This
latest release is better. Not sure if it is better JVM or better code.
But I will be bring the CF to the gaming convention once again and we
will see how it performs.
