Just the other day, a 500G external USB drive on my WHS died on me. I told it to take it out of the pool. It did. I unplugged it and replaced it with a 500G pocket USB drive I happenned to have. Told it to integrate that drive. It did. Essentially a hot swap. Try that with a typical PC RAID array. DE made things so simple and painless for the average home user, that it made sense. That was the target market, was it not? Guess the small cadre of folks who realize there are consumers out there moved from WHS to Windows Phone, and were replaced by the WM guys who couldn't see beyond enterprise.
I'll probably load up a 2011 WHS box, because I can. Not expecting to recommend it as freely as I have in the past to friends though.
