I wasn't "bash"ing their scripts - honest :-)

I can't agree. I view it as I'm buying a well engineered, cheap, board, 
along with a base system (actually 2 base systems) that is/are a starting 
point for developments. If they spent more on s/w developement and that 
pushed up the price, I wouldn't be happy. So far I've not met any serious 
s/w gotchas that couldn't be fixed - the virtue of the open source world.

I don't think it ranks as a serious problem - the busybox problem is a 
busybox problem not a TS problem, and frankly scripts are trivially 
re-engineered. They have to concentrate on the s/w bits strictly in their 
domain.

Believe me there are other suppliers with a lot more expensive products and 
absolutely NO s/w support without a contract!
