  Well, Qpid is still pre-release.  They have made some milestones available.  Also, there is no persistence in the current milestones.  Qpid seems a bit of a mutant project, since Redhat is still developing their own flavor of Qpid, under the Redhat Messaging Server name, even though they donated most (all) of the code to Qpid.  So Redhat Messaging will be Qpid, plus other goodies.  They are promising some high-performance Linux specific features in their Qpid.

  Since Qpid is based on the multi-vendor protocol (AMQP, http://www.amqp.com/), it has great promise.  However, the rate of milestones has been pretty slow.
