Maybe it's time for TGC to jump ship and set up somewhere else?

That'd be like suggesting Intel jump ship and make processors for Macs.

Hey if Windows suddenly changed their name to Glass I would probably switch to Macs myself.

Well, that explains why ezBoard never added any new features. The techs were only keeping a sinking ship afloat long enough to hop to a new craft. Hopefully the ezBoard network will make the move... my first impressions of the Yuku website are the same as I got from the name. Trying to be hip and trendy and abstract, and failing. ezBoard worked because it was easy and friendly, not weird and pseudo japanese.

More like Apple ditched Motorola/IBM. Intel doesn't give a damn, the more chips it sells the merrier.

Close. Aero Glass is the new interface for Windows Vista.

It's probably trying to cling to the new Web 2.0 idiocy. If I were a coder at Ezboard, I'd do a fresh re-write of the existing system before anything else, like making it entirely CSS based instead of the bandwith intensive tables layout.

They can't do a re-write, the whole thing is filled with bugs and bad patches. They would have to redo the whole thing from the ground up, so instead of that, they just started from scratch with a better programming language than smalltalk.

I have been playing around on it since it was in the Alpha stage and I see things I like and things I don't like.
