Sometimes, Microsoft acts in ways that are so unbelievably stupid, it is hard to believe that nearly a hundred thousand incredibly smart people work for Redmond!
Take the Windows Home Server Power Pack 3 update/upgrade for example.
Microsoft is making this update only available as an in-place patch to that OS.
Why is this important?
The Windows Home Server, however you enhance it with add-ins, is a backup device at heart.
Why would you only deliver a download for a backup device that is only available as a downloadable upgrade?
Why isn’t there a testable download option available?
So, what if I apply the patch, and something goes horribly wrong with my backed-up data?
What redress do I have?
Very annoying, and disappointing!
