They thought the first way of doing things was right at the time, but after a couple of years of real world usage they have realised the previous method wasn't actually appropriate/sufficient/powerful enough/flexible enough/whatever, so v2 gives a massive overhaul to these aspects.
As WHS was always meant to be appliance based and not for public sale, they can do this. Otherwise the install is going to balloon with different iterations of key services to retain compatibility, meaning more code to maintain, meaning less stability and more support issues. Personally I think this is the right thing to do with WHS and it actually makes me trust it a little bit more. -- 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
