I'll be the first one to give my toughts about Power Pack 2. I'm really happy to see PP2 coming to us with some solutions to issues we have had. The most important point to me is still the integration of Windows Media Center with WHS. A step forward has been made but still, only half way. I have 2 media center PC's each one recording different TV shows. I know there is some hacks available on the net to move, or record directly to WHS, but it would have been nice from Microsoft they supply a fully recording/playing solution to and from WHS. I guess, we'll have to wait a bit more to finally get that full feature.

:hm:

I checked with an impeccable source and have been informed that since the stock market did so well based on the rumors of PP2 being released yesterday that the SEC asked Microsoft to hold off for another 24 hours to allow the market to settle down before the update is made available.

As the market has dropped some this morning the hope is that this update will renew the surge in a late rally this afternoon.

Others think the markets are all about treasury issues, etc., but we know it's all about WHS and MSS!
