However, anyone experiencing KB 946676 "data corruption" doesn't get Microsoft to recover their now corrupted and destroyed files! No patch here! Microsoft has stated on many occasions that it's WHS Drive Extender code is just an algorithm of a "sort" that's just needing to be adjusted. Whatever you want to call that, only Microsoft knows. But, bugs are normally something that's suppose to be workout before the operating system becomes operational. That's why we pay good money to have testing done first, so customers don't become testers but end up as software users, for which everyone pays to for that experience expectation. What's so shameful yet, is in how Microsoft obviously failed to address this reported issue during the beta period. Which Microsoft had claimed some 100,000 beta testers reportedly had used this software product. And if that wasn't bad enough, despite having the 100,000 beta testers which many of them had reported this issue, Microsoft didn't resolve the issue even after going public last year and continues to sell a proven damaging software product that everybody must take many steps to avoid using the product in order to avoid destroying their data, financial files, family videos, photos with corruption. If it's just a bug, why does it take so long to offer a patch, that is unless your re-writing the fundamental underlying code that's needing to be replaced. Bugs, don't require re-writing the foundation. There just to patch not offer a new version to replace. Imagine a flaw in your automobile, would you call it a bug if the dealership gave you a new automobile in it's place? Software bugs refers to a glitch, a mistake, a defect or flaw in a design in the software code, right?

However, anyone experiencing KB 946676 “data corruption” doesn’t get Microsoft to recover their now corrupted and destroyed files! No patch here!

Microsoft has stated on many occasions that it’s WHS Drive Extender code is just an algorithm of a “sort” that’s just needing to be adjusted. Whatever you want to call that, only Microsoft knows.

But, bugs are normally something that’s suppose to be workout before the operating system becomes operational. That’s why we pay good money to have testing done first, so customers don’t become testers but end up as software users, for which everyone pays to for that experience expectation.

What’s so shameful yet, is in how Microsoft obviously failed to address this reported issue during the beta period. Which Microsoft had claimed some 100,000 beta testers reportedly had used this software product.

Without wishing to get philosophical why is data corruption not a 'bug'? Thanks for clarifying. Without wishing to get philosophical why is data corruption not a ‘bug’?

Only, I wouldn't call the later a bug, it's data corruption! The VSS bug is another bug NOT related to the WHS Drive Extender bug. Only, I wouldn’t call the later a bug, it’s data corruption!

Are the two (or three!) related? So, as I have an HP MediaSmart I don’t need to worry about this VSS bug – but does that also mean I won’t suffer from the ‘multiple hard drives’ bug?

I just bought a WHS server and am seriously peeved after reading stories like this, incl. the other data corruption bug with multiple harddrives. I bought it mainly as a data backup solution, but I cannot use it for that.. unbelievable that these things stay unfixed for months with systems as critical as this. Way to go Microsoft..!
