While many are up in arms now about the decision to remove Drive Extender from SBS 2011 Essentials, and Windows Home Server Codenamed “Vail”, it’s great to see that some can still have a laugh at things. Tim Barrett has taken the trophy today with his carton on the topic.
Personally I think the Windows Home Server product is the big one affected here. I really would have liked to see the Drive Extender technology in SBS 2011 Essentials as well, but I’m not overly worried about that. What concerns me more though is the amount of development effort Microsoft has put into it that is now effectively wasted and how that effort could have been better used in other areas on the SBS product range…
