Because the third-party people are doing a great job. Check the SheevaPlug, SlimNAS, and Vortexbox posts. And with all the micro, pico, and nano PCs around using less then 30 Watts, just about anybody can buy one and have it run SBS being a dedicated Music Server for less the $25 a year in power (in most places and even where it isn't, its way cheaper then running a desktop). In three, four years tops, the dedicated under 30 watt Music Server will pay for itself over running a main PC 24/7 and one gets all the advantages of having a dedicated Music Server running 24/7/365! But that's just my opinion and probably a little more then my two cents worth.
