Yes, that's what I thought when I watched Mary's headline. But the DNA thing
may be more significant, as it indicates that you should brace yourself for
another Home Server (data corruption from the get-go) or another Vista (Ah!!
Where does one start??).
> Hopefully, the SP1 stuff /is/ an improvement, unlike Vista's SP1 stuff.
SP1 for Vista disappointed merely everyone whose site I watch, including some
of Microsoft's fan. It's a dud, it does almost nothing. Not to security, not
to speed, not to compatibility... bugs remain also. WTF??
