Comparison of Octopus and Keyclone

[Temor]

Less hostility I <3 you all~

QFT.

would you rather set up Octopus on your own and, since you have source code, be your own product support? Or would you like a code-free run-and-go fully supported product like Keyclone? The OP has the right to his opinion as does those who are happily using Keyclone. Just try to be less confrontational when discussing what you like/don't like (that means everyone in this thread).

These boards are not a multiboxer software resource competition. We're SHARING information, and the first part to SHARING implies SOCIAL SKILLS. Try to be nice, people.

If you want to share what you like about Octopus, make a share what you like about Octopus thread.
If you want to share some repro steps for bugs in Keyclone, either PM Keyclone directly or start a Keyclone bug thread.

These two pieces of software are pretty different by nature -- one being open source and the other being a dev-supported purchaseable product. If you'd like to contribute to the knowledge base, I'm all for it. Just be nice when you do it.

To answer your first question since you asked, I'd rather have a product that doesn't require product support. Which is what I have now and am very happy with it.

The question about open source versus non-open source, that point in my original message thread is just another addition. It's not the full point of the software. It's a bonus to it. Not a necessity. The necessity is that the software works and in my view one of the products mentioned in this message thread worked, one of them didn't. That's the information sharing that I am providing to the community. Whether you view it as nice or not, that's your choice.
