Negative Ghostrider. I have friends who run the new Windows product and they are extremely pleased with it. Not everyone uses the RERO philosophy in software development. This has been discussed on these forums before and so I'll spare the restating of the strengths and weaknesses of this model.

Sounds like you have some anger issues with forum regulars and rules. I'm sorry , if you do.

I predict that in two hours there will be more Logos users than Accordance users and there will be more resources in Logos than there are in Accordance. (Oh, wait.. We are already at that juncture. Never mind. [:$])

Anger is way too strong of a word. Please do not ever presume upon my feelings again as you do not know me and have no context or position for making any responsible evaluation of my emotional state.

)And there are more non-Christians than Christians in the world, but this fact does not have any bearing upon the truth or non-truth of either position.

To answer the question in the thread title;
One advantage of Logos over Accordance is;
It is much easier to spell "L-o-g-o-s" with your Alpha-Bits cereal than it is to spell "A-c-c-o-r-d-a-n-c-e" (Seems the latter encounters too many broken letters.)

You are exaggerating. IMHO if someone compares the software is one thing, but if someone just promotes another company, he does not contribute to Logos at all but in opposite tries to turn away their users. That's why I may look harsh on those people who are doing nothing but promoting another company. If someone doesnt like this software, fine, just use the one you like but dont come here with intention to turn away users. R Mansfield I am not talking about you here in this case, but in general about other users. Forum guidelines are clear:
"Please do not use our forums to promote or link to competitors." If someones posts do not bring contribution, or suggestion, but in opposite discourages people then Logos should delete those posts without any apologies.

Well, since you stated your humble opinion, I'll state mine (of course, I'm not certain if mine is humble or not to be honest). I don't think I'm exaggerating. In fact, from my perspective your post proves that I'm not.
I simply find it childish that some users patrol these forums, quoting guidelines and such whenever someone might say something too positive about another product. I'm not denying that in some cases, talking too much about another product might be very inappropriate and even rude since these are Logos' forums (hence I didn't go into any detail above regarding the benefits of using Accordance for original language work). However, the constant jumping in to scold others seems a bit busybody-ish (I think I coined a term!) to me since such users who often do this do not work for Logos.
However, I understand the psychology of brand/team loyalty, so I doubt it's going to ever cease as long as people have time on their hands to do it.

We have been told by top officials at Logos (Dan P.)that comparison of and mentioning competitors is FINE... what is a no no is saying Company A has blank for sale now heres the link..... a grey area that seems to be tolerated but I avoid doing is A has blank on sale for $EE will Logos match the price, if so why not?

There are lots of users who either don't realize or simply ignore how bad it is to give clickable links to the product pages of competitors. Do I need to explain why? I've explained on Dec. 2.
And no, publicly asking whether Logos could match a price is not OK. It's not a grey area.

Carl - have a look on the two "German Bible Society Bundles". In my opinion that's the best starting point for biblical language study. They include the Apparatus for BHS, NA27/28 and LXX , the Vulgata, etc. and very good Morphologies. I never bought a base package (only crossgrading from Libronix to Logos) because of so much resources I'm not interested in.

I can't do it at the moment, but perhaps early next year, I might put together some more comparison videos between the two programs, this time specifically demonstrating Accordance's strengths with original languages.
Wonder about Accordance capabilities for showing contextual range of verbal expression ?
My favorite Logos and Verbum feature is visual filter highlighting that combines hundreds of search results for simultaneous display so can "see" Greek verbal range of expression in Greek, English, and Spanish:
Caveat: combining hundreds of search results for simultaneous display can take some time. Thankful for a 3rd generation i7 with Solid State Disk (SSD).
Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Extended_Tips_for_Highlighting_and_Visual_Filters#Examples_of_visual_filters that includes link so members and followers of Faithlife group Logos Visual Filters can freely duplicate highlighting palettes and visual filters for use in their Logos library.
Keep Smiling [:)]

*That* is cool! You'd think after several years of using L4/5 I wouldn't be so ignorant on these things, but there it is...
