As the person who submitted this tip (hope I was the first!) and the owner of four Squeezebox 3's and one Squeezebox 2, this can only be a good thing.
Slim Device's open source model has always seemed like: Let's throw this crappy bug-filled software out there and let our users act as our QA department, filling out bug reports and bitching like hell in the support forums.
This is totally unacceptable for any product that hopes to have volume sales. Unless Logitech/Slim Devices can get their QA straightened out, Slim Devices will always be a niche product for those who enjoy installing Daily Builds on a daily basis.
As I've said before, if your hardware device is SLIM (not a bad model per se), then your software had better be ROCK SOLID.
