Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
"Not all bugs are bad," wrote Chris Sullivan, a program manager for Windows Home Server. That's good, because the team has over 1100 bugs to fix before the product ships.
According to the Windows Home Server Blog, over 3300 bug reports have been filed by beta testers. By the end of last week, around two-thirds had been closed or resolved (fixed, determined to be duplicates, not reproducible and so on), but that still leaves 1100 or so.
But at the rate the team is working - 100 bugs were closed last Thursday - achieving the announced midyear ship date is not beyond the realms of possibility.
Though not every reported bug will be fixed. Over 270 of them have been put into the "by design" bin (the old saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature" presumably applies) and over 150 are categorised "won't fix" which means they may not be addressed in Version 1.0 of the product.
Windows Home Server will only be sold pre-installed on appliances such as HP's Home Server-powered MediaSmart Server. The idea is to provide a device to handle shared storage and backup, along with media streaming (for Windows Media Connect devices including the Xbox 360) and the ability to monitor firewalls and antivirus software on connected PCs.
