    It doesn't work. After installing 7.6.1 the library scan fails with various errors. Have had to revert back to previous version. DO NOT INSTALL

    It is so incredibly dissapointing to experience Logitechs lack of end-customer support. I have 4 Squeeze-zones in my house, but after realizing Logitech won’t upgrade the software to support the WHS 2011 add-in structure, i will be selling off my gear on eBay. They cost a bloddy fortune (the pricing in the Eurozone is a lot higher than in the US), the stability was (or rather: is still) poor when using WiFi, and now they have announced they wont make proper WHS 2011 support. Damn, what a waste of money :-/ Question is: what do I get instead? Perhaps a bunch of hacked AirPort Express units? Sonos?
