I had the opportunity to talk to the guy who designed the box for them, Fred Bould of Bould Design today. Fascinating story (at least to me :) of good design as an investment with significant returns.

I had one of the first series slimbox's and since I got the MS MCE2005 running I sold of the slimbox, but regret it every now and then. The ease of use and the non-computer way approach to music is definately a Pro to the squeezebox. It is not right to compare a squeezebox to a tivo, they serve you music in two complete different ways.

Matt, Check out

http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServerPlugins

the coolest thing are the 150+ user generated mods and plugins that are downloadable from the slimdevices / community / plugins page

that's why it reminds me of an online version of the hombrew computer club!!

Actually, Tivo DOESN'T offer this type of service. Sure you can stream music from your PC, but this lets you stream music from Pandora. There's a very significant difference there.

I've actually suggested to Pandora that they work with Tivo.

TiVo already provides exactly this type of music streaming solution (from any PC in your house to your TV / home theatre system) for free / integrated into the TiVo / desktop software. It works exceptionally well - real time changes as you update your PC library, etc.
