I own an NV+ and it's a great little device except for one thing: It won't automatically turn on after losing power.
Doesn't sound like a big thing until you're 3000 miles away from the NAS and really need it to be on!
I think the ReadyNAS Duo (new version that can only take 2 disks) is OK in that respect.
Just out of curiosity, what applications need full registry access?
I'm betting that a large percent of them do! The reason is that some registry API wrappers (most notibly the one in ATL) default to requesting full read/write access even when all you are trying to do is read a value. This bombs if the registry is locked or if you don't have enough privilages.
Of course, you can change the default behvaior if you are paying attention. But since most programmers have admin access, most don't think about this kind of stuff.
