Well said. It's lovely (and indeed probably essential to the company's success) that SlimServer runs on Windows, but had that been the only usable platform, there's not a chance I'd have bought any of my three (well, active; an equal number of Gen1 boxes passed on to friends when I upgraded) Squeezeboxen. I simply refuse (for reasons of both principle and simple practicality) to host anything I consider essential infrastructure on a Windows box. I had my SlimServer on my desktop Mac for awhile, and have now moved it to a Linux server I keep stashed away; both have been nicely reliable platforms once I hit on a stable SlimServer build. Windows? Go in peace, but it ain't for me. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
