Anyone hear of any rumours on GoldMine 8, like will it truely have an updated user interface that brings us to circa-2006 rather than circa-2005?

lol, FrontRange have said that a number of releases would have some nice stuff in, including revamped user interfaces. They've said the same for GoldMine 8 but theres no guarantess if that will be a bit of lick & polish or a decent redesign.

Unfortunately your answer is, wait for the beta.

The first thing to do is wait for a stable 7.0. Regardless of what the PR flacks say, I'd not expect to see 8.0 on the street for a MINIMUM of two years.

By the way, You'll be playing Duke Nukem Forever on Windows Vista before you are importing your data into GoldMine 8 via pure XML...

LOL... It just gets more and more embaressing to deal with this product with it's UI... Was doing a bunch of installs yesterday and hear, "Wow, that's an old looking user interface, like Windows 3.1".

Well, lol that's about the date range. *sigh*

I remember when Twersky announced in 2000 that 6.0 would get rid of the BDE... LOL, at leaset it happened in 7 in 2005/6...

Previously there was a limit of 10-users on the free version. That seems to have changed

I, admittedly, am not a Sugar CRM guru, but, being a fully-certified (through developer level, etc.) Sage/Accpac CRM guy and a long-time goldMine guy, i have to say, i've been VERY impressed with the Sugar Open-Source I installed on a spare box here..

SugarCRM seems good, but I dont like the userinterface, it looks like an access database webenabled.

I'm honestly not 100% sure.. There's a lot to know about their products and I've been concentrating on learning more about the open source one. About the only difference I'm aware of is that they provide support and whatnot a-la FrontRange's maintenance program when you're on the paid version(s)

Beyond that, I'm sure there are some features here and there with some additional capabilities..

As for it looking like a web-enabled Access application, do you feel that SAGE/Accpac is the same?? I find Sugar's interface to be at least as usable as Sage/Accpac CRM's. And hey, Sugar is 'skinnable'! :)

Well for me having the predefined good looking 'skin' is a must, as IT people we would to often think about what the end users are going to see, and yeah I thikn Sage CRM would be more appealing out of the box. I'd be interested to see if clients would really spend the software $$$ on services instead. I'm sure some would, but how many....

I do know a couple of my larger clients havent taken on linux because of open source support not being in line with SLA agreements etc. But I'm sure that'll change in the future as the likes of IBM are now providing linux.

Jason, that page is taking ages to load :s
