No, it isn't. But there's an issue that will, over time, become more pressing. That's the fact that WHS 2011 cannot backup/restore client PCs that use EFI/GPT technology. At the moment, all our PCs use discs with MBR. However, any new PC (that I don't build myself) will almost certainly come with EFI/GPT. That includes Microsoft Surface, and any new laptop/tablets...mark1234 wrote:Then vote with your wallet and keep hold of your money.

No way I can possibly justify that cost to the financial controller at home...
