WHS Disturbed our Daily Workflow
After searching for a server and centralized backup solution for his business, Christoph Buenger uninstalled Windows Home Server and instead installed Windows 2008 Datacenter.
Chris says that the reason for the uninstall was because there was a delay in accessing mapped shared folders and that Windows XP/Vista showed the incorrect drive size.
The full story is available here.

I do not know anything about the reviewer and their company, but they don’t seem like the WHS target customer if their backup plan was to install Datacenter 2008 in a “production” environment. How many consumers, home businesses or even very small businesses (<10) users will go those ends? In any case, I hope that PP2 address their issues.
Sounds like they had a old network card driver in their custom build of Windows Home Server – as I can stream 4 HD videos at the same time across my 1 GB wired home network ….
What’s worse is he installed Windows 2008 Datacenter into production using his MSDN subscription, a clear violation of the MSDN terms & conditions. He responded to someone who pointed this out that he was “evaluating” it. Riiiiiiight.
