What happened to netbooks being renamed to "low cost small notebook PCs"?

Literally just installed one yesterday. It's much nicer to use than a Server 2003 SBS installation. I have to say, that for a guy with a media extender, an xbox, htpc (with cable cards) and a PS3..it's a wonderful little device that is not too complicated.

FYI, for some reason I could not get the beta to install by running the install.cmd batch file. It kept giving me a permission error (and yes, it was in the proper folder and I had the proper permissions).

So I dropped to the command prompt and just entered the commands from the batch file there. Worked fine :-)

WHS has a pretty good community following, though I'm not sure about sales numbers. The common misconception is that it's just an expensive file server. It's really so much more.

Even just the image-based backup and health monitoring is worth the price of admission for me.

@Ocean:

- it has 100% of the "Windows based home server operating systems" market

- absolute sales figures (including those 3 that Paul Thurrott bought): 3 copies*

*just kidding. it is doing very well. I do not expect it to be discontinued in the next 3 month.

I use home media server to backup several windows 7 machines including a windows 7 netbook. Seems to work fine.

"better support for netbook computers"

Huh. I guess Ray "In reality, I don’t know what a netbook is” Ozzie finally figured it out.

Hmm. I have been backing up my Windows 7 computer to WHS since the public beta and now with RC. The image based backup works just fine and when I tested the restore, that worked too. It also recognizes my AV program without a problem.

I have also backed up a couple of netbook computers to it.

Nice to have the other features, but those two seem to be working fine on WHS with Power Pack 2.

How is WHS doing on the market?

I guess one could build one's own 'home server', eh? A few scripts etc. etc. 'Would make for an interesting project.
