It doesn't say that to me at all. The Sonos had two things on the SB:

A Simpler to setup for dummies
B Much cooler remote with built in display

The SB OTOH is much more flexible and powerful (IMHO at least) and 
integrates well into an existing computer network (which I and many 
others already have, and more people will have in the future).

SD couldn't really fix 'problem' A without losing some of that power and 
flexibility. People like me wouldn't want them to, we want that power 
and flexibility! But the cool Sonos remote made me hesitate, I did want 
that remote. Now I have it and the Sonos has no more advantages to me.

History learns that people in the long run always tend to go with the 
most flexible and powerful solutions. Many companies have tried to sell 
dumbed down computers. Historically, most of them have failed. If I were 
runnig SD I probably wouldn't want to go down that road.

That they chose to create a similar remote tells me that they didn't 
want to go the other route.

Peter
