Windows Home Server Corrupts Files

Posted by timothy on from the handy-for-plausible-deniability dept.

crustymonkey points out a ComputerWorld article which says that "Microsoft Corp. has warned Windows Home Server users not to edit files stored on their backup systems with several of its programs, including Vista Photo Gallery and Office's OneNote and Outlook, as well as files generated by popular finance software such as Quicken and QuickBooks." Crustymonkey asks Don't back up your files to Windows Home Server, as recommended by Microsoft themselves? I'm not exactly sure what the point is in having a home server if you can't back up files on it."

    Well, do you want something that requires no higher brain function to set up and loses data, or do you want something that works?

    How THE FUCK did this get modded +5 Funny?! For crying out loud, the guy is saying that he IS ready to KILL someone - granted, in self defense - but whether or not this person is armed, and BEFORE making a threat assessment. I'm sorry, but to me that is manslaughter, and I am disgusted that people would mod it FUNNY. And for those of you who aren't sure, this is NOT a sarcastic post.
