I would doubt there will be an easy upgrade path as that really isn't the point of WHS at all.
It is meant to be an appliance, you buy it, install it and use it. That is all. If you want it to do more that it already is (like when they release a new version) you buy a new WHS. Just like when they add features to a TV that are software only these days. They don't back port the software to older models, you just have to buy a new one. Of course this is the opposite to the Squeezebox line where the software continues to evolve and benefits all previous owners as well as current and future ones. -- funkstar '[project log] funkstars digital lifestyle' (http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-lifestyle/179882-project-log-funkstars-digital-lifestyle.html) - 'hexus.community' (http://forums.hexus.net/) *in use:* *1*x touch, *1*x boom, *2*x sb3, *1*x controller *in a box:* *1*x radio, *1*x (beta) controller, *1*x receiver, *1*x sb2 wired (silver), *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) if you have any others, let me know, i'm interested!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78042 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
