More bad news for fans of little Windows servers for home. HP, makers
of the MediaSmart boxes that defined the first release of Windows Home
Server, has confirmed that it is canceling plans to support the next
major release of the OS, codenamed Vail. This comes hot on the heels
of the removal of storage pooling from that release, an extremely
unpopular move among the relatively few but ardent fans of WHS. HP is
promising to continue support for its existing MediaSmart products but
apparently has already redeployed development teams to focus on WebOS
devices. For its part, Microsoft will be relying on Acer and Tranquil
PC to hang the decorations for the Vail release party. Anyone still
care to RSVP?
