Microsoft admits big delay on Home Server bug fix

However, “truly frustrated” Microsoft evangelist Volker Will, who lost 180Gb of data after his system was downed by the bug, complained about the problem on his blog back in January.

“I might wait until version 2.0, if I ever decide to install it again," he wrote. "The current piece will be permanently banned from our home by the weekend. Sorry folks, I think it is a GREAT idea, this implementation is just not ready for prime time."

In fact, the poor guy even fell out with his missus over the data corruption debacle.

“BTW, thanks to Home Server my wife stopped talking to me as she is now really mad at me. Not only are some of our pictures gone, I spent countless hours in my room figuring out what the hell is wrong instead of with the family,” he added. ®

Ag shame, cry me a river....

I also saw this one, pretty swak on MS side. It seems they've narrowed it down to certain apps, for now. It's not going to help anyone to recover data at this stage, especially if they've already lost everything on their drives, etc.
