If you read the mail archives you'll see that this has been discussed quite recently. BBWin is pretty much dead but may be revivable. Xywin is a new C# based project.



We use BBWin in local mode because that seems to have fewer bugs. We maintain central configuration by periodically downloading the BBWin.cfg files from the server. I have a working dev environment for BBWin and have managed to fix a few bugs - I may have a try at getting it to interpret the event logs in 2008 et al correctly.





Personally I'd much rather the Xywin project successfully replaces it as C# is a much better language (than C++) to use as regards communicating with Windows subsystems.
