This is a great component to bring together two great products--Joomla and WHMCS.
I've been searching for a solution like this for a couple of years. I have tried to write my own JFusion plugin, and even considered using a different hosting billing software that had rudimentary Joomla integration (I'm not giving up my Joomla!!)
I ran across this new component and had it up and running fairly quickly. I did have a few questions and the author responded quickly and is very helpful (and patient).
As of this review, I am running Joomla 1.5.14, WHMCS 4.1.1 and J!WHMCS 1.5.1 which has a User sync.
For the WHMCS familiar, keep in mind that this uses your existing Joomla template to present the whmcs content (only modifying the header.tpl and footer.tpl whmcs template files) so all of your design and layout, modules, etc. are maintained in Joomla. You will want to strip some of the body css code from whmcs' style.css file to keep from overriding the Joomla templates.

Yes, there are lots of gallery components and plugins out there, but this is the first that I've run across with as many options. The author has taken the time to integrate different stand-alone flash products into a single, easy to set up and managed solution.
I like the fact that, at least with the Tilt viewer, that we can opt to purchase the commercial versions of some of the gallery components. This helps to support the technology as well as give us an option to tie together everything in a professional presentation.
I would like to be able to opt-in with the author to purchase a non-branded solution for the overall Ozio component. You do have to dance a little jig to try and get the layout where the fixed tag line is just right.
I would also like to see some options with non-flash alternatives in case the visitor is on a mobile device (can you say iPhone?) that doesn't support flash. I have worked around this, but it may be a simple parameter that could be programmed to test for a flash capable browser and opt for a different non-flash display.
