So was Vista RTM kernel so bad, it couldn’t be fixed, or was Vista RTM kernel so bad it had to be replaced? You tell me…

Now we come to WHS, built upon Windows Server 2003, which Windows 2008 replaces 2003, but NOT in WHS. To make matter worse, WHS Drive Extender Technology is rumored to be the cause of all the data corruption. And yet, it too goes unresolved even as WHS Power Pack 1 is said to be even more than a service pack release. One can only wonder if this is meant to actually rebuild the system architecture of WHS RTM?

Spending more money isn’t the answer… Microsoft has gone a path in the wrong direction. Is it any wonder why Microsoft “Live Search” only holds about 9% of the market?

Even with HP’s help, WHS remains to be poorly adapted by the mainstream. It’s buggy, has data corruption issues and is basically “borrowing” third party solutions to appease the geeks, who basically should be using a real server. While the typical home server needs a more robust OEM solution that provides real streaming capabilities instead of focusing upon backup protection, which at this time isn’t able to even protect itself from data corruption.
