Windows Home Server code name “Vail”– Update | |
|
||
| Time: 13:44 EST/18:44 GMT | News Source: Windows Team Blog | Posted By: John Quigley | ||
|
When we first started designing Windows Home Sever code name “Vail” one of our initial focuses was to continue to provide effortless support for multiple internal and external hard drives. Drive Extender provided the ability to take the small hard drives many small businesses and households may have acquired, and pool them together in a simple volume. During our current testing period for our Windows Home Server code name “Vail” product, we have received feedback from partners and customers about how they use storage today and how they plan to use it moving forward. | ||

Another great product killed! Great job MS.
Without this functionality I see no reason to use WHS XX. |

| Place your bets! What commercial product, or its successor, will be dumbed down or killed off next by Microsoft for any reason they choose to provide? The second coming of Kin doesn't count. |

How is killing one feature of the product that was a flaky to begin with, caused numerous problems and was a support headache, killing the product? Baring remote storage can't you already accomplish this if you really wanted via extended logical volumes?
Personally I wish they would kill the standalone product though, not sure why they can't just bolt on the other whs feature sets to the existing storage server sku and call it Storage Server 2008 r2 - Home Edition. |

Nor have I, but I know some who have. Either way, how is killing one feature that partners and customers have moaned about, killing the product.

There is some confusion here:
"one feature that partners and customers have moaned about" Right now there are around 1676 votes in a petition on Microsoft Connect to bring back Drive Extender; I would not call this "Customers moaning". As for killing the product I do not see "home users" using a RAID 5 system to replace the functionality that MS just removed. |

Oh so you think removing this product kills it in the market then? Maybe I guess, but then again I never really saw this feature all that great a feature, and plenty of other products in the home\soho space offer raid. As for ms connect, so testers complain on connect all the time it's partially why it's there, ms said they killed it due to customer feedback, all that proves is they clearly were note referring to the feedback received on the connect site.

#7,
I'm not so sure you truly understand what this feature did. |
