People who are really serious about storage and backup etc., are not using Windows file servers anyways. 90% of these companies use servers like Netapp,HP, IBM etc. So that would mean that AutoVirt is not serving 90% of the market anyways. And of the remaining 10%, not everybody cares. Storage is cheap to the extent that most of the home users simple plug in a new bigger device. There is a reason that Microsoft is not spending its resources on war that is not worth fighting for them. And way Autovirt has built its solution, most of the administrators are going to be very hesitant to deploy it. Good luck,,,,, Well, I feel sorry for the investors who decided to fund this adventure.
