Nonsense. These days you can have media servers on a lot of devices. I've had them for years on my Linux computers. My Android tablet can be used as a media server. The Go Flex I use for back as I've already said is primarily sold as a media server. > > For most consumers, Windows 8 will be an ideal choice > as the center of a home network, and I can imagine > users keeping a single desktop PC around just for this > purpose, adding storage as needed. > > "So I had 10 years worth of digital photos, plenty of > video footage, some music, plus Gigas of documents from > tax records to academic work, all of them on a bunch > of CDs, DVDs and USB disks of all makes and ages. > > I wanted everything organized, accessible readily by > any of the devices on my home network (Mac, PCs and > tablet), and accessible from any remote place with > internet.

You claim to have worked in a sweatshop called "Dell Computers" where you answered phones from people who were looking at the blue screen of death.
