HI Bill!
Just great......thats all I need, something else to put on my "want
to/need to ;) get" list. 
Sounds good.  The hackability of the winradio appeals to me. But;

Okay, I can see their point about plagerism...However, unit replacement is
all fine and dandy under the warranty period.
BUT after that? No.  As a consumer, and electronics technician, I can't live
with such a thing.
 Even VLSI chips get on my nerves sometimes since all thats blown is a
simple switching circuit that comprises approx 0.05% of the total chip
functions at a cost upwards of $70, knowing full well that given old
(addmittedly oversized) component boards, the unit could be repaired for
less than a dollar in parts.
I guess I better end with an on-topic remark... =)  Other than the above
beef, its good to hear that the winradio frontend is as functional in real
life as the demo program leads us to believe.
