Money, Money and Money is $M priority!

Is it any wonder why more consumers are switching to open source code solutions, that offer real support, real products that do what customers need which are made available for free…

If we didn’t have almost every PC pre-loaded with windowware, the PC would be hundreds of dollars cheaper, and everyone would sell more PC boosting the economy for everyone else to support, rather than just insuring only Microsoft holds on, to it’s monopoly.

Consider how WHS offers only a bare-bones media sharing and streaming capabilities experience… NO 1080p and obviously no 802.11.n wireless connectivity included as well…

However, Belkin offers high definition streaming on their NAS products… need I say more?

Except no protection for the WHS OS drive failure and no print server included by WHS too!

And for those who install WHS themselves, WHS formats the System drive, even if it doesn’t need it, with the full format, taking forever (actually times vary). Speaking of which, WHS is way slower than XP to install.

Compare this with FREE Linux, which boots from DVD or USB HDD and your up in running in less than a few seconds or minutes (depending on PC hardware) with all programs and support! It’s also way more secure.

WHS = dumb down toy appliance device, not a real server.

Don’t believe me, see the facts here:

and as for WHS, it’s more than obvious, the NAS market is growing by leaps and bounds, thus this presents an opportunity for Microsoft to extend, embrace, and then extinguish the competition!!!

Ask yourself, who really wants to save all their personal data, such as family photos and videos, including backup all written in a proprietary data format which WHS only allows!!!

When will WHS if ever provide a resolution regarding KB 946676 Data Corruption?
