Power Pack 1 for Windows Home Server (WHS) is much like a service pack for any another Microsoft operating system, except that its main focus is to bring new features to the consumer, in addition to the usual bug fixes. One such bug fix that will now be included in the first major update to WHS is for the rather serious file corruption problem that affects a growing list of software.
After 342 replies were made to a topic discussing Power Pack 1's shipping status, Microsoft has decided to listen to its customers by delaying the shipping of the update and merging the file corruption patch with it. Previously, the software giant was planning to release the two separately; the Power Pack would come first since the code for it had already been finalized for a while now. It is a bit unsettling that a problem that affects a minority of users is delaying a Power Pack, but then again, Microsoft can afford such decisions with new products that need to maintain quality levels on every update.
