Windows Home Server Still Crippled By Corruption Issues

The list of troubles for Windows Home Server continue to expand and after a promise of a quick fix, two months later no end is in sight


Windows Home Server was aggressively marketed as an attractive consumer storage solution for everyday users, as part of Microsoft's next generation of Windows products. With a retail price of $189 and hardware setups such as the HP 500GB EX470 retailing with the OS for as little as $599, the price certainly seems to be right.

Unfortunately, Windows Home Server is still experiencing teething problems. DailyTech previously reported that users' files were being corrupted by Windows Home Server when simply trying to access and save files. Microsoft responded to the data corruption by stating, "When you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when you save them to the home server."
