Windows Home Server Suffers Data Corruption
The honeymoon between Microsoft and the partners and customers who've been gleefully awaiting the arrival of Windows Home Server may be over, thanks to a serious data corruption glitch in the software.
"When you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when you save them to the home server," said Microsoft.
According to Microsoft, the problem appears to be limited to files saved using Windows Vista Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Money 2007 and SyncToy 2.0 Beta. When a user saves a file to the Home Server using one of these programs, the files may become corrupted.
Some of those are obscure applications, but data corruption in Outlook, Microsoft Money and Windows Vista Photo Gallery could seriously ruin a few peoples' holiday weekends.
Also, that list is just the software Microsoft has been able to reproduce the bug on. The team is also experimenting with torrents, Quicken and QuickBook files, which users have also reported problems with.
Microsoft blamed the problem on a glitch within Windows Home Server's shared folders. The company said it had reproduced the bug and would post any new information to the document tagged as KB946676.
"Our development team is working full-time through the holidays to diagnose and address this issue," claimed Microsoft.
The Windows Home Server product was announced earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show. It is designed to be a thin version of Microsoft's Windows Server, which typically uses an Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron server processor as a foundation for enterprise software. It made its consumer debut in October.
The Windows Home Server operating system is Microsoft’s attempt at helping consumers manage the tremendous amount of available content. The operating system has been commercially sold for several months now on inexpensive home file servers that can store documents, pictures, music and video.
