I can't help but believe that eventuallly IB will trail the features in the commercial version versus what their own sites are running. It only makes sense. Can you imagine the boardroom conversations at IB if another site is out-performing an IB site using their own software?

If IB just acquired Jelsoft, that's one thing. They start acquiring properties in my space? Yes, that's a problem.

All of these tools IPB has can be gotten for vbulletin either free (gallery) or a soon to be release (blogging).
