I have.  SlimServer ain't Vista or OS/360.  It's a project with two or
three full time developers and a handful of part-timers.  Adding a
couple of full time in-house software engineers to that total would do
wonders.

There are obviously things going on right now at the former Slim
Devices to which we aren't privvy.  Hell, maybe they've already made
the decision to abandon SlimServer as it now stands and are feverishly
working on a proprietary Windows-only package being outsourced to a
coding sweatshop in Russia or India.
