When a device/product maker starts taking direct suggestions from customers it leaves me worried. It means they don't have the vision to create a refined product. I suppose this can be mitigated depending on how a company acts on the suggestions, but Boxee hasn't shown that they can turn something around quickly nor distill these suggestions. This can lead to some hairy implementation that simply tried to cater to too many tastes and ends up pleasing no one.

We'll see. I've factory reset the box back to version 0.9, but now I'm once again having issues entering my login credentials. No time to continue testing today, so I'll give this another look tomorrow. If I can't recommend the product to friends, then I can't very well include it in my business plans either. I'm in a bit of a quandary right now.
