Mine has broken twice - I just 'upgraded' the glue (it was ultrasonically 
welded in two small places) on the inside and I'm pretty hopeful.  It's a 
badly-designed part but easily the least-used in my case. I definitely try to 
steer clear of using it for any hard-drive-unfriendly activities, though.

I have never used it in Windows - the Java mini-client (downloadable from the 
player's web server (ethernet) does just fine for me.

I also bought an extra dock (either $40 or $50) and have it mounted in my car, 
which has worked well so far.
