And how does it help me in using my mapping GPS from getting where I WANT to go? Think about what your "solution" does. You think that the government statists come up with the "backup plan" (how does annual reading of your odometer sound)?
NO! The only solution is to go and vote the leftist OUT from the government. Vote for people that are not interested in their own power. i.e. "liberals".

See Jamesb, the problem with this approach is that you make breaking the law acceptable behaviour. This invites lawlessness, which in its own form is a tyranny too.
Problem with Europeans is that they have been living under "safe" socialist systems for so long, that they don't even know how enslaved they are by the government had outs.
Government is necessary to defend borders, and lawlessness (in any form of civilian living) - nothing more, nothing less. Using government's power to distribute wealth abusive and corrupting.
Dutch deserve the government that they have...they keep electing politicians who keep on the road to socialist totalitarian tyranny.
And the sad part is... most of the rest Europeans are the same.

... Do you know who was targeted by Lenin as he described them "useful idiots" ? It seems to me that you belong to the group of people that mistake "critical thinking" for being mean spirited, and this is a big problem.

I am sorry, but printers is NOT something that I would be buying from HP. Their complete lack of software support for newer operating systems is outrageous. My last purchase was HP laserjet 3015 multifunction unit. The ONLY support that HP provided was XP (32 bit version). When the Vista came along HP refused to provide both scan drivers and updated software (not even for 32 bit version). Now, Windows 7 is out, and the same story. HP competition (Brothers for example) during the same time has provide multiple upgrades to their printers.
Anyway, HP is out for any of my SB and home purchases, and I am not convinced that they provide any more value for big businesses either.
Even the feed dragging with EX47x servers software upgrades is soooo disappointing.

One good thing for consumers (bad for HP and their shareholders) - competition is watching, learning, and ... filling in the gabs. ;) Story of many complaisant companies that joint the "has-beens" of Silicon Valley list (can you say 3COM, QUANTUM or BORLAND?) never cease to amaze me.

bigbunny - Long time ago I stopped treating OS as a religion. If it works, and provides me with a great functionality, I don't care what is under the hood....really.
For example, I have been observing a great storage appliance Drobo for quite some time now, and never cared about the underlying OS. I can speculate, and maybe would love to see the architecture, but is it something that I cannot live without... nope.
Same goes for WHS. I am frugal, but did not blink when HP released ex47x servers. I can sleep without worry about my music and picture collection, my tax and other financial documents. Most of things, that I would never be able to recover from, should they be lost due to some kind of disaster.
I recovered multiple times from XP SP3 upgrades, and it was a non-event because of WHS.

This should be a top 3-5 features, otherwise the results will not show a clear winner. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks a lot. I did find the same posting, which confirm an option for processor and memory upgrade.... sweeet!
I cannot wait till the new WHS 2 becomes available. Hopefully it will also support my ex475 box. If not...let's wait and think positive. :)

Question: Is the BIOS the same for the two machines?

I second that! I wish HP was as forthcoming as Tranquil.

Yeas you should! :).
I had to restore 4 times my IBM T40 XP professional after SP3 installation failed attempt. For some reason, SP3 would refuse to install on that machine, complaining about some driver. Luckily, WHS restore worked like a charm. No hustle, just a CD in the drive and having a cappuccino moment as the laptop was being restored.
I also restored an exotic Sun W2100z workstation using the required drivers on the USB flash drive. Again, WHS restore worked a champ.

Anyway, anybody who is serious about their data AND TIME, should invest in any WHS box.
I hope that the new version of WHS is going to bring more refined backup / restore features for WHS server itself (how about backup of a backup server to a remote/secondary WHS?), automatic partition resizing during restore ... this should not be a big of a deal, should it?
