So in a nutshell you want all unhappy customers to shut up and pretend that everything is ok, so potential customers are not scared away when they learn about the lousy quality of the software? Sounds pretty much like acting in the interest of the company to me. And why would I want to do this?

I upgraded to 7.5.1 a couple days ago, and immediately started having issues with the radio freezing up, losing presets, etc. So I reverted back to 7.5.0 which has been working for me. I run squeezebox server on windows vista 24/7. Don't use any alarm features so can't comment on those.

Yeah, again Logitech failed to fix the main issues with the Alarm/MYSB connection etc. Wow - even -I- would have thought that 8 (!) months after the release should be sufficient for a one man team to finally get the basics to work. Shame on you, Logitech. There is really no excuse for this. --

I have the Radio and the Duet and generally they have always worked fine. However,it would be a stretch to say that there are no problems at all. There are often issues, but after a 60 year lifetime of shortwave static the device is a miracle and I am willing to put up with hiccups now and then.
