I just ran into bug 1397/10777 on my Classic. The bug note for 10077 is
marked won't fix and states that [w]e do not plan to implement any
further enhancements to the ip3k firmware or which are targeted
specifically at ip3k-based products. It still works, but don't expect
much further support.

are?

You're right, status quo is status quo. But sometimes new software

My point was, it's not hard to guess what would get tossed overboard if
support of older products conflicted with needed changes

Unusually for most open software, I think that end users of SBS would
notice an immediate lack if Logitech stopped operating in that way -

Here's my take:
The Boom and Receiver are based on the same platform as the
SB3/Classic/SB2 so as long as those are available, the other IP3K
players will also be supported. Then you have the two year warranties
on the Boom and Radio, I can't see them honouring the warranties and
dropping the

Keep in mind out of warranty hardware repair of SB3's was discontinued
in less than four years.

If, hypothetically, SBS 8.0 (Win 7 compatible) were to stop support for

Sure you can, you can upgrade it to a real operating system instead of

Well, pick whatever flavor OS you prefer (MS, MAC, Linux, other?),
eventually some future SBS version would not be supported on XYZ OS, in

It certainly does! And that is an interesting question.
I personally view them as an -audio- product, but that is why I chose

I've got a Boom and am itching to buy another device that I can plug
right into my stereo. Unfortunately at the moment the Touch and
(obviously) the Duet are out of my pitiful budget's reach. I can
however get a deal on a squeezebox classic.Should I? I know they
have been discontinued--
You won't get an official answer, but the first player produced by Slim
Devices, which predates the Classic by about 4 years, is still
supported. *

Seems very unlikely to me. Not only has Logitech historically supported

It may happen, but you can rest assured there'd be outcry if it was
attempted. The open/compatible nature of the Squeezebox ecosystem is
one of the primary things that makes the product appeal to most
people.
I would think Logitech understand this.

Most businesses cut off support of superceded products. Any reason to
think it would or should be otherwise for Logitech?
Guarantees of future compatibility are rarely provided. That it has
As long as you have a version saved that works well with the classic
then you would only have a problem with new versions if they
discontinued support. Maybe mysqueezedbox.com would fail but it should
always work on your own library. BTW I really love my classic.
