re: MS Non-Support

Actually, that's somply not true. I've used Windows Easy Transfer (WET) on several different Vista 64-bit machines.

and the most criminal oversight regarding lack of support for x64?

Vista transfer settings and files transfer wizard will not work on a 64-bit system.

So even trying to leave it behind is not supported by Microsoft !

guys,

I'm currently testing out Power Pack 1 using my Vista 32 BIT machine. I haven't managed to break it yet, but I'm only just starting to play with some of the applications known to cause a problem with the corruption bug.

I should point out that, once installed, Windows Home Serverworks fine under Windows XP professional x64 - with the sole exception being that you can only restore drives, and not individual file. And testing this m offa few weeks ago with something I hadn't actually planned on doing. But I can vouch that it works.

cheers,

Allan H.

Believe me, Chris - I wish it as well. Even though I've pretty much moved off of XP x64 (or, in fact, ANY XP), I still would prefer that they'd supported XP x64.

Too Bad the WHS Connector doesn't support XP 64. That's all I want. Too bad. No backups for me.

re: Windows Home Server - Public Beta Includes x64

Just to be clear - yes, this is still a "beta". But it _does_ include the corruption fix to the Drive Extender. That was the key to getting it to work with TiVo Desktop. And you can whine and naysay all you want, but I still think this is far and away the simplest, and best, client backup solution I've ever used. Bar none. I've give MS more than a bit of feedback on WHS since it originally released, without 64-bit support, and I've avoided recommending it to any one while they resolved the DE bug. But they've fixed both of these issues, and they deserve credit for the quality of the product that is there today. Oh, and they _did_ just save my bacon on the Ferrari.

Charlie.

Charlie, finally you can stop holding your breath about WHS and your "beloved" 64bit :)

over confidence, leads to pushing WHS, when everyone knows it's broken, even if and that's assuming PP1 was to deliver, minus removed features in a Power Pack.

Still incomplete!

re: Windows Home Server - Public Beta Includes x64

Kevin — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:54:15 GMT

I've been using WHS since last November 2007. Unfortunately, PP1 still isn't RTM, keeping from using this product with a proven data corruption defect in the WHS Drive Extender code.

Assuming that KB 946676 is resolved, and that all the other third party application will work, I will give it another try.

And if this time around, PP1 still doesn't get WHS to work and function as advertised, then I'm stuck with a broken defect that Microsoft should fully refund.

And when or how much longer should everyone need to wait for the promised June PP! RTM release?

If that's wasn't bad enough to keep everyone waiting sinc\e last year, I'm told even in PP1 the advertised feature to backup the database has been removed!

So once again, no method to backup WHS in the event of something to go wrong, which has already happen and no doubt will ahead.

Why can't Microsoft get it's act together?

Windows Home Server saves my bacon...again

Last December, I posted a story to my personal blog titled " Windows Home Server is actually useful!

Sure, Kevin. Whenever you're ready. Now that we know 64-bit will be supported in WHS, I'd be happy to host a blog post here from you. :) And yes, a community survey on WHS would be interesting. I'd especially like to hear how folks are using it in the HBB space.

Thanks Charlie,

I appreciate the support. I hope we can learn a lot from this one.

Do you think we should do another one for Windows Home Server?

re: Hyper-V RC0 and Integration Components Workaround

Aaron Marks — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 02:25:10 GMT

Thank you very much for this helpful blog post. After installing a Windows Server 2008 RTM host and then immediately updating it off of my WSUS, I was completely lost as to how to get my Windows 2008 VMs to use the ICs.

It didn't even occur to me that RTM came with a beta/CTP of HV while the updated/Retail 2008 comes with RC0. After I downloaded the mentioned KB and put it into ISO format using NERO and then everything worked great. Thank you!

re: Finally - Adobe to support 64-bit in next version of PhotoShop

Computer User — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:58:26 GMT

Why would G think Charlie would know what Adobe has planned for the future?

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask Adobe instead of Charlie?

And, why does Rod Trent want people to quit using Adobe products? Is Charlie going to do this?

When are they going to update Flash to x64?

re: 32-bit Memory in x64 Windows

Charlie Russel — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:42:14 GMT

I suggest you post in the public 64-bit newsgroup. microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general. That's the best venue for getting this kind of support.

4gigs of ram, an GeForxe 8600 with 512

ddr3, and I cant play halo 1 without running it in safe mode, I play Homm3 made in 98 and its choppy sometimes. Is there a solution other
