Hi all
I have been asleep for a while, and not monitoring what's been going on, but can anybody tell me the status of the Windows client? When I last paid close attention to the list, the client was in beta, and if I recall, did a pretty OK job. (I installed it on a test system) But that was at the old job.
New job, new Hobbit installation, and the Windoze crowd want to see the client.
What's news?
Regards Vernon

This is the latest mail I have:
I publish today BBWin 0.7 (a free Big Brother Hobbit Windows client). I know I'm late, I said it would be on last monday :-)
You can download the MSI installer of this preview from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin
This preview contains the new following stuffs:
The msgs agent : it monitors the event logs. It uses match and ignore rules with a lot of options. Rules can be specified with EventId, Event type, Source, LogFile and description (perl regular expressions can be used).
BBWin configuration auto reloading : BBWin auto reload can be set so any change to the BBWin.cfg file will indicate BBWin to reload its configuration without restarting the service itself.
bbpager : BBWin now supports bbpager feature (used with Big Brother server, not compatible with hobbit)
cpu improved : Cpu has been rewritten and reports now contains process owner and priority
Documentation: the documentation is now delivered as a chm file, easyer to read than first my ReadMe.txt file. It will be more complete with time. Also, it may contains many english bad spelling. I will take english lesssons soon but you are welcome to send me corrections :)
Migration tools: configuration migration from bbnt to BBWin for bbpager and msgs has been implemented
