Re: [WHS] Microsoft Draws the Windows Home Server Era to a Close Wow, that's to bad. I thought Microsoft had a good program with WHS. |

Re: [WHS] Microsoft Draws the Windows Home Server Era to a Close said by howardfine:but, yes, a home Windows user is not technically knowledgeable enough to just plug Apache in and go
Which was my point when I said, "isn't a viable option in an MS home environment when compared to the functionality and ease of use to WHS".
Feature set: not there.
Ease of use: not there.
Let it go already. The market the WHS was aimed at isn't the market that would use Apache. |

Agreed 100%. Same goes for all my other gadgets at home, for that matter  |

Hm. On FreeBSD, 'pkg_add -r apache22'. Edit three or four lines in the config file and you're done. Linux is just as easy.
But I do understand your points. MY point was that Microsoft abandoned its users. |

How does that get me:
drive pooling?
folder duplication across multiple drives (for easy drive replacement)?
backups of each client pc?
Where's the feature set of WHS with Apache? |

| You were talking about installation and configuration, not features. All those things are easily done on *nix and not needed in Apache. |

A: Windows Home Server 2011 will remain available as an OEM embedded product until December 31, 2025, and will remain available in all other current channels until December 31, 2013.
So, ONLY 13½ years left? When's the fire sale start? |

No. This thread is about Microsoft dumping WHS. |

kudos:2 | Yes, that would be the Title of the thread. However, the actual discussion has been about the features and ease of use of WHS, e.g. mourning the loss of said product. |

"easiliy done" is relative. It's all just "in there" on WHS without much to configure and for what does need to be configured, there is an easy-to-use GUI.
