The Home Server Cometh
narramissic writes "Apart from Apple's 'I'm cooler than you' ad campaign, you don't hear much about the Windows versus Mac battle these days. The reason: Today's battle isn't about 'what brand of computer sits on the desk in your spare room, or even what operating system it runs, it's going to be about who gets to dominate the market for home servers that will control your entertainment, television, telephony, and your home automation system,' argues Dan Blacharski in a recent article."
WTF right back at you. Did you read my post? It would help with comprehension. I'll repeat for you, this time with emphasis:
The only reason I'm not Mac-only in the house is Mac's poor support for things like, I don't know, RAID. And please don't mention their giant steel monstrosity or the an XRAID server or whatever. I can go out and assemble a cheap Windows-based file/print server for my home. Why can't I do that with Apple?
What part of not mentioning their servers did you understand? Either the mac pro or the XSERVE are incredibly expensive. I can get RAID support from a windows box cheap. Or is there a mysterious RAID array tucked inside that mac mini or yours. Room for 3 drives in an iMac perhaps?
It's amazing how they give informative mods to illiterates now. Must be some kind of equal opportunity initiative.
