If you like the Squeezebox hardware and software, get one and worry
about the future when it becomes a problem, currently it isn't a problem
and I believe LMS works on Windows 8 (unless I've missed something).
Thanks to third party developers in the community I'm sure the
Squeezebox is going to continue to work a long time after Logitech have
completely abandoned it and at the moment Logitech is still maintaining
the software and services related to the Squeezebox. From an outside
perspective, it even looks like they are maintaining Squeezebox software
better than the UE Smart Radio software (which are related to hardware
products they still sell).
I got a spare Touch fairly soon after Logitech announced that they would
stop selling it, mainly because I love it and wanted to ensure I have a
backup in case the main one breaks.
