Interesting. I am running 7.0 with r2097, and it seems pretty stable to
me.

Back to the OP's concerns. It strikes me that the extremely flexible
nature of the Slim Devices architecture is its own worst enemy for mass
market acceptance. The server software will get installed on a wide
variety of PCs and in a wide variety of wireless networks over which
Logitech has no control whatsoever. Given what a mess a lot of people's
PCs are in (especially Windows ones), it's a miracle that it works as
well as it does.

If the Duet is to become a widespread success, I think the next thing
Logitech need to do is work on an appliance server device. Perhaps a
low power diskless Linux box with a CD drive for ripping (with a
bundled AMG subscription to help with tagging), USB ports for external
disks (so the user can add whatever disk space they need), an ethernet
port, and an optional wireless access point built in.
