Windows Home Server eats files for lunch
When Microsoft first announced its Windows Home Server product, it sounded rather appealing to many users. Rather than having to go through the trouble of setting up, say, a Debian server, it became possible to run a powerful server using a familiar environment.At least that was the concept. However, a distressing bug has surfaced on the Microsoft Knowledge Base. According to the article, Windows Home Server can corrupt or eat files created by several popular Microsoft applications, Quicken, Quickbooks and even Bittorrent downloads, yikes!
We'd think people might want to be able to reliably save such obscure things as pictures, presentations, and torrents on a home server, but maybe we're just weird like that.
