IMO it's nowhere near strong enough in deterring average users. Like it
or not, gmail has effectively redefined the quality expectations for
"beta" software. This page needs to say that the beta software is a work
in progress, it -probably- doesnt work, and is only suitable for users
who want to help logitech fix it.

So what does that page say to me:

> 
> Every night a new pre-release version of SqueezeCenter is built from
> the very latest software that's been updated by the development team. 
> This means that these "nightly" builds have the latest bug fixes and
> features added.

That makes it sound cool. Everyone wants the latest features
> 
> It also means that there may be unfinished features and bugs.

No problem; if anything important is unfinished I can download another
nightly later, when it -is- finished. right?
>

No problem; the forums provide more responsive support anyway.
> 
> 7.4 - This is the latest version of the next major update to Squeezebox
> Server (formerly known as SqueezeCenter), to be released in the second
> half of 2009. It includes a number of cool new features.
See, even this page says that the bleeding edge is cool

Im an optimist; it probably wont be broken right now.
