Microsoft Abandons Drive Extender for Vail, Aurora, Breckenridge | |
|

Microsoft has decided to remove its Drive Extender storage technology from the upcoming versions of Small Business Server Essentials, Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials and Windows Home Server. The decision was announced Nov. 23 on the Windows Home Server blog by Michael Leworthy, a Microsoft product manager. Noting that "large hard drives of over 1TB are reasonably priced" and 2TB drives are "becoming easily accessible to small businesses," the team felt the Drive Extender technology "was not meeting our customer needs," wrote Leworthy. |

This is one of the most monumentally stupid decisions I've ever seen Microsoft make. The only reason I and many others used WHS was for DE. Without DE WHS is a pointless product.
There is absolutely no way I'd buy "Vail" without DE. |

| #1: I agree. But, apparently the hard drive makers convinced Microsoft otherwise. |
