We have had one conference call and will be having another today, it could be the best thing ever if SWSoft does it properly. I have some ideas about the future direction of resellers/hosting and SWSoft has the ability to take it there, but either going along as it has(which hasn't been that great) or increasing development and making it a real panel for the future will take some commitment from them.
I am personally looking at it as a positive, but only time will tell.
