Wow, less than 12 hours after the announcement and people are already predicting doom and gloom that they don't have "bragging rights" or "niche status" with their Squeezeboxes any longer.
Folks, I thought it was about the music. Logitech can probably help Slim reduce costs on the more mainstream products like Squeezebox while still allowing a high end Transporter product to succeed in the market. I see a simple windows installer for the "noobs" and a high end server product for custom installs or those users who want to do their own compiles, add their own plugins, etc. This is all good for us, the consumers, as likely one big benefit of the acquisition is that prices will go down. Don't condemn this deal until it bears sweet or bitter fruit. And for those exceptionally bitter people, buy as many Sbs and Transporters as you ever think you will need and get the latest server software, it does virtually everything you would ever want to do for music listening in the current state it's in. Hats off to the Slim Devices team, congrats on this deal, I'm sure it's good to get handsomly rewarded after years of hard work!! -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
