Attack of the WHS Fanboys?

General Tech, Show Related Add comments

I stand by my review of the HP MediaSmart WHS unit that I released weeks ago. Even to this day I get comments and emails from people telling me I was way off, had no idea what I was talking about, or had a bad unit. All of which I smell fanboy BS off of, but it still makes me pause and wonder what they are seeing that I am not… Granted it is not an awful product, but I do feel it is still not where it needs to be for the target audience of the device.

So I thought I would record a quick video, and maybe get your take on the situation:

I think this really fits from Wikipedia:

Fanboy is a term used to describe any individual who is devoted to a single subject in an emotional or fanatical manner, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession.

    I don't think you should worry about this too much Chris. Fanboyism is just a cute word for fanaticism and fanatics, especially ones that group around Microsoft's products, are not the brightest sort. (Doesn't fanboyism/fanaticism naturally imply some sort of mental impairment to being with?) If fact, since I'm not the type who thinks tact is a virtue or something worthwhile I am going just go ahead and say that Microsoft fanatics are pretty unintelligent and I mean overall. I should know, I deal with these idiots on a daily basis due to my work. So, don't worry about it Chris. Would you listen to your dog bark like it had something intelligent to say, for more than a second? After all it's just a dog barking. So Chris, let em bark.

    With that said, with so many alternatives to Windows Home Server out there, all of them either inexpensive or even free, not to mention proven and tested, I don't know why anyone would go with Microsoft's bloated products for server-anything. I had a chance to to test drive WHS on many occasions and I even received my free WHS trial kit few months ago (MSDN perks) but I never bothered evaluating it. I don't need to stick my spoon into a pile bat guano and taste it to know that in fact it is bat guano.
