I noticed the old version was drawing criticism for falling foul of DEP - at least they fixed it, more than can be said for a few other programs on my list.

Still having some problems under Linux (only the OSS sound driver can be utilized, and that not without footwork, fails to compile in some systems- although there are also static builds, widows-style...), but at least now there is sound, unlike 2-3 versions ago. Can you imagine a VoIP proggy where you have no sound?
