Feedback

I just stumpled upon a great online service that I wanted to try out on you, the Smartlaunch community.

The service is Uservoice.com, which is a user sugestion service, that let’s users send their ideas to developers of software solutions, but what makes this different from a forum or simmilar, is that you have 10 votes associated with your account.

Whenever you suggest something, it costs one of your votes. But you can also use your votes on other users suggestions. However 10 votes is all you get, so once you have spent the vote on a suggestion, you won’t get that vote back until you either decide to change your vote, or the feature suggested is implemented by us.

This makes it a great tool, as it allows everyone to be heard, not only the ones who are able to yell the loudest on the forums ;)

But go ahead, give it a try. Suggest something and cast your votes, and we’ll listen :)

Western Union

We’ve made an agreement with Western Union that enables Smartlaunch cafés to be Western Union agents. As of right now we’re offering it to cafés in Australia, but assuming it goes well, and the demand is there, we hope to offer it to all cafés around the world.

4.1 Fixes

Besides working on Smartlaunch 5.0 we’ve also been hard at work fixing bugs in 4.1. This has resulted in several fixes, including some Vista client issues with remote control and startup errors on computers with fresh Vista installations (not updates from XP).

We’ve also made some changes to the Administrator, including disallowing setting a client out of order and forcing client updates if a user is logged in. This has been done since doing either, with a user logged in, causes some issues on the client.
