LMS support on ReadyNAS 100 / 300 / 500

The question of LMS running on these devices is immaterial to me - I'm sorry but I just can't bite my tongue any longer - I was sucked into the Infrant/Slimdevices marketing BS years ago.
I own a ReadyNAS PRO & NVX - read more in the forum and see how Netgear treats it's current / on the shelf / in warranty customers. One quote from an owner was "Spit in the face". There are current issues with their latest and supported firmware for in warranty products (NVX) that renders them useless upon expansion - no FIXES but faint promises of soon come.
DO NOT buy a ReadyNAS unless you plan to:
BUY thousands of them - SOHO is not NETGEAR's forte
SIGN a long term support contract with NETGEAR - some of their ReadyNAS support tickets are still open after months of lost data & use
COMMIT to refresh your hardware platform EVERYTIME they bring out a new line - "Gee, old gear? F'you!"
I would RUN not walk away from any Netgear product unless you can - BUY, SIGN, COMMIT as stated above.
Would you like my Logitech/Slimdevices rant now? I didn't think so...
Sorry
