    Funny, I don't feel limited in any possible way by my Macs.

    Cheers,

    My maintenance of windows has also dropped to zero after upgrading to Windows 7. My oldest laptop (6 years old) got a new lease on life this way and it only cost me 50$.

    I'm running Windows 7 at work and we have 4 PC's running Windows 7 at home and I can say there is no maitenance a part from Adobe bugging me to update flash every second week.

    Please don't compare a 5 year old Windows XP computer with a brand new Mac running brand new OS. Windows 7 is every bit as good as OSX.

    back to Logitech...

    Now that I think of it... Since Logitech bought Squeeze there really hasnt been the rate of development and refinement that you would expect from a company as advanced as Logitech. I'm a tech geek type of guy so I like the challenge that comes with the tremendous flexibility built into these devices. The software side of things still has a very "open source" flavor. Thats endearing in a way, but there are many consumers who, rightly so, expect more.

    That's not a new observation. Actually, it didn't start when Logitech bought Squeezebox. At first, there was a flurry of activity, they added a number of new developers for the product line, and made some nice enhancements. Unfortunately, the product was derailed by a succession of poor marketing managers and the resultant mediocre sales. Now, there are maybe two or three full-time people left, plus whatever time some of the former developers can squeeze in when they're not working on other projects. QA resources have also been slashed, which can be seen in the many problems with the recent 7.5.3 and 7.5.4 releases.
