They've started the EOL process, but they're not EOS, but your point is still well made.
The TZ170 appears to be in "Active Retirement Mode" for what historically will probably be another year (sometime mid-2009). Then limited retirement mode for usually two years and then End of support.

The TZ 190 is a sweet box and is only available with the Enhanced OS. Getting a cheaper TZ 180 and putting the Enhanced OS and unlimited user upgrades on it is more expensive than getting a TZ 190.
