Mumble is "om nom nom" with big "G" :P but anyway, these kind of things are mostly a matter of preferences and habits. most people are hesitant to try new things, it's in our nature. so why not just checking the alternatives and then have people posting what they've found out? a bit like gamerecensions to introduce new games; writing thoughts and settings etc etc for others to hear more about it.

personally I stick to my recommendation though, I think it has valid arguments for its cause ;) I mean, it's free to host your own server as well as the free clients (there are of course posibilities to rent a server if that's more attractive). the servers can be setup pretty much as you want to with as many slots as you want to etc etc. the only limit is the bandwidth, even though Mumble only use a very small amount. connection speed exceed ventrilo by miles. qualitywise then I'd compare it as vent being like the old 8-bit sounds while Mumble would be like the HD MP3s out there today. ... a bit exaggerated but still, the difference is big o-o Nmd tried it and noticed a difference ^.<

either way, if people are hesitant and want to try it out before deciding anything they can just pop into a friend's public Mumble to check out the program? that's also where I've been when I've jumped between vent and mumble talking with both sides at once while we've been gaming :P (and people said guys can't multitask, tsk)
