Server as Microsoft Home Server.  You screwed up the name, not anyone else.  So what do you suggest, that Microsoft rename it as \"Microsoft Home Server\" now?  \"Windows Home Server\" is already generating the correct hits.  Changing it to \"Microsoft Home Server\" would just changes the hits to that phrase rather than \"Windows Home Server\".  It makes no difference.<br><br>Again, I find it wrong that companies have to cater to Google's algorithms.

Server 2003, out of the box will run NOTHING. Trying to make a website run on IIS with Server 2003 is a nightmare. I can\'t tell you the days and weeks of time we wasted on a project just trying to get it to deliver out files. The reason? Security. It\'s always a security problem. It\'s like they said, "I know how to make Server more secure, we\'ll just configure it so nothing will run and then let the users figure out (on their own) how to turn things on. Problem solved!"

The other factor that comes to mind is heat and power consumption.  I use a Linksys device about the size of two cell phones stuck side by side.  No fan, and even in heavy use the thing hardly gets warm.  The external disk drives connected to it DO get warm though and I\'ve read that one cause of failure in these USB drives is insufficient (ie nonexistent) cooling.  So for something I\'m going to tuck away in a closet somewhere (next to lots of flammable materials) I would like to know that some form of ambient cooling will keep the various parts from reaching any dangerous levels.<br><br>This device/software combo has a lot of nice unique features for an all-Windows household, but I\'d bet it won\'t take long for most of this to be duplicated by a generic low-power low-heat no-fan gadget if it becomes a success.</div>\

One of the things about Robert is that he evaluates TOO MUCH stuff and never really takes the time to stick with any one or three cool software programs. Like most people, he\'s enamored with online tools and services, but a failure to check out GNU/Linux as a "techie" is a major failing in my book.<br><br>Yes, yes, I know... I\'m a free software bigot, but I used to not be. I used to believe like most people that it didn\'t matter what license my software I use was released under, but now that I\'ve actually been using GNU/Linux for 9 years, I understand that free as in freedom is something I never again want to give up.<br><br>Most people never consider the freedom aspect of their software, the evil DRM onboard, etc. If people really understood what they were losing, they\'d be appalled. It\'s illegal for you (metaphorically) to share a copy of Windows with your friends. It\'s illegal for you to reverse engineer the source code to see if there is anything untowards in the code (I\'m convinced there is). The fact that the NSA assisted with the security in Windows is scary. Yes, the NSA helped with SELinux, but the source is open for me to check it. The beauty of free software is that there is nothing hidden.<br><br>Think about it. A society that cannot share is a society doomed to fail. Proprietary software licenses are evil.

Seems that Google’s algorithms should adapt to the product names than the other way around. "<br><br>I obviously didn\'t express myself well, and my example was bad.  My point was that no algorithm can get beyond the use of common, in fact VERY common words in a search string.  In fact, if the product were named "Microsoft Home Server" as Robert wrongly stated, it would have a better chance of showing up at the top of the search results than would "Windows Home Server".  Don\'t you remember, the word "windows" used to refer to an architectural element in buildings, even in, for example, your "home"?  You wouldn\'t want to purge Google\'s database of all such references to sell a software product would you?  That would in fact be MANUAL intervention into the search.   (I wouldn\'t be surprised if there were actually a lot of that going on too).<br><br>Get my point?   In the name "Windows Home Server" you are talking about three very common words that have technical uses, but also have very common, in fact MORE common non-technical counterparts.  The term "Microsoft" on the other hand, or even a word like "software", or "LAN", etc. could be used to automatically distinguish between this products name and other random paragraphs that might contain those three words in some totally different context.  The only (other than Google intervention) way that this product would (and does) show up at the top of the Google search at all, is the fact that search engines give preference to the words appearing adjacent to one another and in the same order specified (you can put your search string in quotes to nail this down even further, particularly when there are two or more groups of words you are searching for).  neither the word "palm" or "pilot" alone might get me a good selection of references to 90\'s vintage personal organizers, but "Palm Pilot" certainly would.  On the other hand, "N800" already does a pretty good job of getting me to a more modern device without a lot of false hits.</div>\

I agree that protecting medical records is paramount. I also think that healthcare should be free. My taxes go to nothing but supporting Iraq and maybe a fixing a few potholes in my local streets.<br><br>You said DRM is neither good or evil. I disagree with that line of thinking in the context of consumer software because if I cannot control every aspect of my software, to include being able to view the source, then it\'s evil. For that reason alone, even in Linux, I will not download binary blobs. I get the source and compile it. I also learn something in the process.<br><br>I never stated that all the overly-rich empire builders should give their money back. I stated that software should be free, as in freedom. Share DOES mean infinite copies, as that is one of the preconditions for free software.<br><br>Stallmanite? No. I agree with him, but I don\'t spend a lot of time reading his missives. I\'ve agreed with his point of view before I even knew who he was.<br><br>It\'s about freedom and control. I like both. The fact that Windows uses DRM to control updating is evil. Most Windows software outside of the US is not genuine Windows. I\'m OK with that. These people are prime candidates for becoming Linux users. Fact of the matter is, there is not a whole lot that Windows and the Mac can do that Linux cannot. Sure, I may have a less than perfect GUI, but at least my money stays in my wallet where it belongs.<br><br>You say hardware is proprietary. Unfortunately, yes, but my BIOS is free software. You can download free software BIOSs now, freeing your computer almost entirely of badly-licensed software.<br><br>Same goes for the iPod and soon the Zune. Get a freeware firmware changeout and do what you will.<br><br>Cal me radical all you want, but I don\'t answer to any company. I answer to the GPL, which suits me just fine, since I can share, copy ad nauseum, change, edit, you name it. The GPL is viral for several good reasons, which while you may not agree with them, they are sound ideals.<br><br>Again, I may have offered some bad analogies, but my computing environment is free. Yours is not. This may not bother you, but it sure as hell bothers me on several levels.<br><br>That\'s why free software exists. For people who are tired of everything being proprietary and released under draconian licenses. The entire idea of intellectual property is bunk. No such thing. Copyrights, yes. Patents, yes. IP, no way.<br><br>Embrace and extend is terribly evil. Software should be free. Full stop.<br><br>Go and actually read the GPL. It\'s more American than any other license out there. It embraces the founding father\'s ideals more than you will know. Take another, closer look before you know it.</div>\
