Windows Home Server hasn't exactly taken the consumer market by storm,
showing yet again that people are more interested in shiny new toys
than protecting their precious data. Still, there's been a huge amount
of negative backlash from Microsoft's recent decision to drop Drive
Extender from the next release of WHS, currently codenamed Vail. Drive
Extender is the tech that enables multiple physical disks to act as a
single logical volume, making it easy for even non-techy folks to add
more and enable data replication. Terry Walsh over at We Got Served
was similarly taken aback by the decision and took the opportunity to
drop a note to Big Poppa Steve Ballmer. He got a response:
From: Steve Ballmer

To: Terry Walsh
Subject: RE: MVP Feedback - Windows Home Server "Vail" Crisis
Let's look into it
Yes, it's a short response, and it course could mean anything or,
indeed, nothing, but it is at least a response and a positive sign
that the huge outcry among fans of Windows Home Server can indeed make
its way to the top of the executive chain. Now we just wait to see
what comes rolling back down...
