I have experienced a variety of software related bugs with the device, many of them focused around alarm functionality. For the record, I do network diagnostics for a living and am pretty competent and capable in the IT arena. Therefore, I don't usually get tripped up by your typical rookie mistakes. I run a WHS 24x7 that runs SBServer WHS version. This version has not been updated since 7.4.1 and I'm not interested in beta testing software for Logitech. The amazing part about all of this is, as I said in my original tirade, this is a DOT DOT subrelease of the software. This is the kind of update I expect to see every month or two, not once every fiscal quarter (or in this case, longer). The annoyance is only increased by the many other fixes/enhancements that have been delayed, the delay of the SB Touch (a year late, really?) and the delay on the battery that has left me building my own. Everyone at Logitech gets to share some of the blame here. From upper management obviously underestimating the resources needed for this project, to designers who have clearly missed the boat on basic usability to developers that (for whatever reason) have struggled to release fixes (in some cases getting help on major issues from the user community). I love the Slim products I've bought over the years. I had the pre-order for the 1st Squeezebox Radio sold in the world. However, what I've been seeing over the last six months leaves me strongly suspecting that this SB Radio will be my last SB purchase, at least until there are some MAJOR changes (for the better) in this division of Logitech. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75541 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
