I run a NAS because its on 24/7 and idles at about 14w usage. My PC idles at about 75w usage.
I dont know who pays your power bill, but I pay mine and that is why I use a NAS over a Windows box. I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops in the house using Windows. That is 4:1 in my house alone for Windows to Linux for me alone. I am 100% a Windows desktop user and would promote Windows as the right answer to any of my friends. But I, like a large portion of the Squeezebox userbase, use Linux for my server. nicolas75, the numbers have been shown to you. Slim Devices/Logitech have been cranking out these Squeezeboxes for a long time over many different versions. They clearly have sold enough of these in the past at least to prove it is/was a viable product in its current form. Breaking into a market is the hardest thing for any business, look at the Revue at how a product can struggle to get traction in the market. You would need to be very sure about your goals to rush to change your product drastically eg killing Linux support, potentially losing 40% of the proven customers. You fail to recognize why NAS are popular and you fail to accept Squeezeboxes proven customer base. Clearly you are out of touch and not catering for these potential customers which have proven to be in large enough numbers to keep a product alive for 10 years through numerous versions. -- bits ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bits's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13375 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89143 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
